Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses extreme exaggeration to emphasize a point or create a dramatic effect. It’s not meant to be taken literally.
Example:
“I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.”
The speaker isn’t actually going to eat a horse—it just emphasizes how extremely hungry they feel.
And there you have it. Now go ahead and use hyperbole in your CXC prep/ CSEC prep.
