Answer:
The correct answer is D: Kayla's use of hyperbole shows how embarrassed she is about her fall.
Explanation:
A hyperbole is a phrase in figurative language that is exaggerated. The text says, "Kayla had been mortified, and her face had remained flushed as she grabbed her award and ran back to her chair. 'I'm dying of embarrassment,' she whispered in Devon's ear. 'My life is ruined.'" which shows how deeply embarrassed Kayla is.
When she says she's dying of embarrassment, she isn't actually dying, she's exaggerating!
It's not A because Devon shows care for Kayla by trying to comfort her.
It's not B because Devon never says that no one saw, he' says people barely noticed.
It's not C because Kayla is clearly embarrassed as the text says she was mortified, which means she is really scared/worried about her falling infront of everyone.
