The sentence that uses hyperbole is:

"She started the new job as a young, excited, hopeful woman; less than a year later, she left as an old, tired woman."

This sentence exaggerates the transformation from young and hopeful to old and tired in a very short span of time, which is characteristic of hyperbole.
