Question

The music played so loud I knew my ears would be ringing for hours. The band rocked. We thumped our feet to the beat and shouted along with the lyrics.
Which revision would introduce hyperbole to make the description more vivid?
1. Add "at the top of our lungs" after "shouted".
2. Replace "hours" with "the rest of my life".
3. Replace "rocked" with "was on fire".
4. Add "like maniacs" after "shouted".
I would go with number 2.

Answer 1

Thanks

Answer 2

You're correct! Option 2, replacing "hours" with "the rest of my life," introduces hyperbole effectively, emphasizing the intensity of the experience. This exaggeration makes the description more vivid by suggesting that the music was so loud it would leave a lasting impact. Great choice!
