Explanation:

Question 4

Hyperbole is an exaggeration. In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", saying Smiley would follow a bug to Mexico is an over - the - top, exaggerated statement (hyperbole). The other options are more realistic descriptions of Smiley's betting or luck - related behaviors.

In the story, Smiley's horse had consumption, distemper, and asthma. Influenza is not mentioned as one of the maladies of the horse.

Mark Twain is the pen name of Samuel Clemens. Ernest Hemingway, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Jonathan Swift are different authors.

Answer:

D. will follow a bug to Mexico
