To answer the question regarding the point in the story where the author uses exaggeration, let's analyze the provided choices.
1. **When Goha's wife first takes a taste of the calf leg** - This may not involve exaggeration but rather a literal tasting of food.
2. **When Goha’s wife claims there was only one calf leg** - This could reflect a misunderstanding rather than an exaggeration.
3. **When Goha pretends to be dead throughout the funeral procession** - This suggests an extreme action but may not clearly be an exaggeration designed for humor or emphasis; rather, it serves the plot.
4. **When Goha suddenly sits up and exclaims that he has won the argument** - This moment can be interpreted as exaggerated because it portrays a dramatic and unexpected reaction.
Part A **answer**: "When Goha suddenly sits up and exclaims that he has won the argument."
Part B would typically ask for a deeper explanation or analysis, but as this question focuses on Part A, I will leave it with that response.
