Which of the following is an example of a hyperbole?

Question

I knew how Oliver Twist felt when he asked for more gruel.

I could have eaten everything on the restaurant’s menu.

I was like a famished lion, prowling for my meat.

I was so hungry my stomach was growling.

Answer 1

An example of hyperbole is "I could have eaten everything on the restaurant’s menu." Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally, and this statement implies an extreme level of hunger by suggesting the speaker could consume an impossibly large amount of food.
