There's not a single lump there!" she said at last. "There's not a lump as big as a pin—except backbone lumps, and you can only feel them because you're thin. I've got backbone lumps myself, and they used to stick out as much as yours do, until I began to get fatter, and I am not fat enough yet to hide them." Which best identifies an example of hyperbole from the passage?

used to stick out as much as yours do"


"not fat enough yet to hide them"


"a lump as big as a pin"


"not a single lump there"

Respuesta :

the answer would be C, because a hyperbole is an exaggeration.

I just took the test and your answer is C. "a lump as big as a pin" because the question is asking you to find a statement in the passage that is not meant to be taken literally, or seriously. The other options are not as exaggerated as C so I hope this helps :)
