Questions: Which of the following is an example of hyperbole? Our car cost us an arm and a leg. Love is like a compass. Darla didn't dare to answer the door.

The answer is "Our car cost us an arm and a leg."

This is an example of hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. Saying that a car cost "an arm and a leg" is an exaggeration to emphasize that it was very expensive.

This is an example of a simile, not hyperbole. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using the words "like" or "as." In this case, love is being compared to a compass.

This is a straightforward statement and does not involve exaggeration or comparison. It simply describes Darla's reluctance to answer the door.
