Question

elect the correct text in the passage.
Which sentence from the passage contains a hyperbole?
Fever

To say Peter was under the weather was putting it mildly. Peter had been sick for six days so far, and he didn't seem to be getting any better.
"Mom!" Peter yelled. "I'm as thirsty as a camel! Can I get some water?"
"Just a minute, Peter," his mom yelled up to him. Peter hated having to wait. Being sick always put him in a bad mood. He was a grumpy grizzly bear. After what seemed like years, Peter's mom came into his room with a glass of water.
"Here you go, love," Peter's mom said. "Let's see if you still have a fever before you drink any, all right?"
"Mom, I feel hotter than a desert during a heat wave," Peter moaned. "I don't need a thermometer to tell me I'm burning up."
"Well, let's just see, shall we?" Peter's mom said. She placed the thermometer under Peter's tongue and pulled it out when it beeped.
"Your fever has actually gone down," said Peter's mom with a smile. "You're more like a desert in winter, Peter."

Answer 1

"I'm as thirsty as a camel!"
