The hyperbole “the size of tombstones”. The author uses the hyperbole to define the extent of Anna's teeth. It’s clear the character does not have teeth in her mouth as big as tombstones or else the character would not be eager to speak. The effect of wit is shaped through Sedaris's use of the hyperbole. Also, it makes an improved description of the scene so that the person who reads can make a better visual.   
The hyperbole "Every day spent with you is like having a cesarean section."The result is this is where David Sedaris for the primary time meanwhile being in France he could comprehend every word that anybody was saying.

Subjective: based on or influenced by personal experiences, beliefs, thoughts

I just copied and pasted this to see if anyone else had an answer, one person said B and that got 5 stars and a few thanks, so I'd go with B. Also, B seems objective because it is influenced by the person's feeling of the character.

How does Michio Kaku develop the idea of an impending scientific revolution in “Choreographers of Matter, Life, and Intelligence
motikmotik

by praising the efficiency of modern-day Internet research  doesn't relate to anything regarding "Choreographers of Matter, Life, and Intelligence" when it comes to argumentation. Comparing scientific knowledge to grains of sand on a beach  is poetic, but it is no argument either. Proving names of modern scientists and their contributions also shows nothing but the scientists and their contributions themselves. It doesn't work as proof for <em>"an impending scientific revolution".</em>

What Michio Kaku does, as the good scientist that he is, is to show evidence. And he does so "by providing quantitative proof of recent scientific progress"
