Asked by Julie

Select the hyperbole in the passage.
She walked beside me and asked what appeared to be an innocent and unrelate question:
"So, which do you like better, State or Carolina?"
She was referring to the athletic rivalry between the Triangle area's two largest universities. Those who cared about such things tended to express allegiance by wearing either Tar Heel powder blue, or Wolf Pack red, two colors that managed look good on no one. The question of team preference was common in our part North Carolina.
