Nap Interrupted

by A. Gautam
Please inform the doorbell—
I do not want to yell.
Ask it to stop screaming.
I am busy dreaming.

I was almost a queen.
I just won a big war.
I was nearly eighteen.
I would have traveled far.

I do not care if it's Pop.
The noise just needs to stop.
Even if it's my mom,
My ears are going numb.

The line that is an example of hyperbole is:

A. Ask it to stop screaming.

This line exaggerates the sound of the doorbell by describing it as "screaming," which is an exaggerated way to express annoyance with the noise.
