No problem! Let's break down the options to find the correct answer.
Option 1: "an implied comparison without using like or as." This is called a metaphor, not a hyperbole. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things without using the words "like" or "as."
Option 2: "the feeling caused by a word." This option refers to the connotation of a word, not a hyperbole. Connotation is the emotional or cultural association that a word carries, beyond its literal meaning.
Option 3: "a comparison between unlike things using like or as." This is called a simile, not a hyperbole. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using the words "like" or "as."
Option 4: "an obvious exaggeration." This option correctly defines hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or dramatic effect. For example, saying "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" is a hyperbolic statement.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4: an obvious exaggeration. This is the definition of a hyperbole.
To find the answer, it is essential to understand the definitions of literary devices and how they are used in language. By comparing the options and recognizing the characteristics of hyperbole, we can determine the correct answer.
