Answer 2

Answer:

Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is the overstatement of things, making them appear more than they really are. This exaggerated form of expression makes the things seem more than they are in reality. So, with the description of people, things and events as if they were much greater than they really are, the writer is using exaggerated means to emphasize on them. This method is known as hyperbole, the deliberate use of extra details/ expression to describe the things.
