A hyperbole is a literary device where a comparison is made that seems to be “over the top” or overly exaggerated. When we look at the excerpt you provided, the exaggeration that can be seen is how the preparations for Colin were equivalent to the plans great generals would make before going into battle. Because the preparations for Colin would be nowhere near having the logistical complexities/intricacies of battle plans, option “C” is the most appropriate response.
