Question

question 4
review the piece of text from chapter 16 of brighter than the sun. decide if this piece of text represents symbolism, a symbol, or a hyperbole, or none of these options.
mr. vázquez says, \everyone please hand over your essays!\ and my heart stops.
a symbolism
b symbol
c hyperbole
d none of the above

Explanation:

The text describes a heart stopping at a request, which is an exaggeration (hyperbole) as a heart can't literally stop from that action. Symbolism uses symbols for ideas, and a symbol is a single representative object; this is an overstatement, so it's hyperbole.

Answer:

C. hyperbole
