"This bag weighs a ton!" is an example of what type of figurative language? A Hyperbole вAlliteration c) Metaphor D Simile

A.

The phrase "This bag weighs a ton!" exaggerates the weight of the bag to emphasize how heavy it feels, which is characteristic of hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses extreme exaggeration to convey strong emotions or create a dramatic effect.

Here are further explanations.

• Option B: Alliteration refers to the repetition of initial consonant sounds in a series of words, which is not present in this phrase.

• Option C: A metaphor makes a direct comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as," but this phrase does not compare the bag to something else.

• Option D: A simile compares two different things using "like" or "as," which is not applicable in this case since there is no comparison being made.
