Question

Which quotation from The Secret Garden contains hyperbole?
"Mary! Bananaon! I shall get well! And I shall live for ever and ever and ever!"
Out of a deep window she could see a great climbing stretch of land which seemed to have no trees on it.
Mary asked no more questions but waited in the darkness of her corner, keeping her eyes on the window.
"My word! She's a plain little piece of goods!"

Answer 1

Hyperbole is exaggeration that's not meant to be taken literally but rather used to emphasize a point. I think the best example among the choices would be the firs quote "...And I shall live for ever and ever and ever!"
