Question 20 of 20
2 Points
Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi
Then such a scramble as there is to get aboard, and to get
ashore, and to take in freight and to discharge freight, all at
one and the same time, and such a yelling and cursing as
the mates facilitate it all with! Ten minutes later the
steamer is under way again, with no flag on the jack-staff
and no black smoke issuing from the chimneys. After ten
more minutes the town is dead again, and the town
drunkard asleep by the skids once more.
How does Twain use hyperbole in this excerpt?

Respuesta :

Answer:

When Twain stated, "After ten more minutes the town is dead again, and the town drunkard asleep by the skids once more."

Explanation:

That is a hyperbole, as the people in the town are not actually dead. They're just not in sight.

Please mark this answer as brainliest if I helped!

Have a great day! :)
