It Cant be C I know C is an Exaggeration which is a Hyberbole

omariyaheverett:

a metaohor is something like "ur taking forever in the bathroom" but u can't take "forever" because its impossible

omariyaheverett:

*metaphor

Rylee88:

I know what it is but the answer is not C but the others dont look like its them

saying ur taking forever in the bathroom is exaggerating

omariyaheverett:

so it is C

Rylee88:

Rylee88:

exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

i think hyperbole should be c because it does say An intentional and obvious exaggeration

Rylee88:

Yea

Rylee88:

So Metophor is A?

Rylee88:

Ok

omariyaheverett:

Personification- the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form

this is A

Rylee88:

So thats A

yes

Rylee88:

omariyaheverett:

Alliteration- the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words...i think this would be E

omariyaheverett:

so ig metaphor would be B
