The answe is C Hyperbole is often used for emphasis or effect. In casual speech, it functions as an intensifier:[5][6] saying "the bag weighed a ton"[7] simply means that the bag was extremely heavy.[8] The rhetorical device may be used for serious or ironic or comic effects.[9] Understanding hyperbole and its use in context can help understand the speaker's point. Hyperbole generally conveys feelings or emotions from the speaker, or from those who the speaker may talk about. It can be used in a form of humor, excitement, distress, and many other emotions, all depending on the context in which the speaker uses it.[10
