Explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally. Saying a neighbor "eats children for lunch" is a huge exaggeration to emphasize meanness. The other statements are not exaggerations of this kind. "My mother is the picture of health" is a common - expression, "Tick - tock, tick - tock, the mouse ran up the clock" is a nursery - rhyme with no exaggeration, and "My neighbor keeps his yard mowed on a regular basis" is a simple statement of fact.

Answer:

My neighbor is so mean, he eats children for lunch.
