Answer:

B. Hyperbole

Explanation:

The excerpt provided is a figurative language which makes use figures of speech to achieve impact, persuasion and emphasis.

Alliteration, Hyperbole, Metaphor and Simile as all examples of figures of speech.

  1. Alliteration: places a number of words with similar consonant sounds to occur next to each other in a series etc. For example: A big bully beats a baby boy.
  2. Hyperbole: exaggerates on ideas to emphasis a situation. For example:  She has been dying to get a new shoe.
  3. Metaphor: makes use of a hidden comparison between two different things, two things that have nothing  in common but at the same time share same characteristics. For example: The news was music to my ears.
  4. Simile: makes direct comparisons between two unrelated things, by using  the words "like" and "as". For example: She is as large as life.

The excerpt provided there is no comparison but an exaggeration of facts as ostriches are said to gobble their food

Licemer1 [7]

In "Twelfth Night" many things get twisted. For example, Two twins are seperated due to a crashed ship. Viola, one of the twins, is then forced to dress as a man, taking on the name Cesario.
While working at a palace, Viola falls in love with a young duke. Everything seems to be fine, except the young duke is head over heels for a girl named Olivia. However, Olivia is madly in love with Viola, who is pretending to be Cesario.
Viola then has to continue to be Cesario while caught in an awkward love triangle. She struggles having to balance Olivia's advances while she swoons over the duke and acts as his page. She also has to deal with the sorrow of her long lost twin, sebastian.

P.S. This should be a good starter! Hope u like! Havent read that in a year so it may ne off! I deserved more points than that.
