Devon tried to comfort Kayla after she tripped on the stage during the awards assembly. "It was nothing," he reassured her. "People barely noticed." His words didn't help. Kayla replayed the inelegant scene in her mind. As she had walked across the stage, she had felt her heel wobble slightly, sending her swaying back and forth. Then her foot had given out completely, and the auditorium had echoed as she hit the ground. After a few seconds, giggles from the audience had broken the silence. 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 statement best interprets the use of hyperbole in the passage? A. Devon's use of hyperbole shows how insensitive he is to Kayla's feelings. OB. Devon's use of hyperbole shows that no one even saw Kayla fall. C. Kayla's use of hyperbole shows that she isn't embarrassed about her fall OD. Kayla's use of hyperbole shows how embarrassed she is about her fall

Respuesta :

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.
