Which best identifies an example of hyperbole used in The Secret Garden?
“I didn't know," ventured the nurse, “that he thought he had a lump on his spine.
His back is weak because he won't try to sit up. I could have told him there was
no lump there."
Colin's tantrum had passed and he was weak and worn out with crying and this

wish everybody would run out of the house and let you scream yourself to
death! You will scream yourself to death in a minute, and I wish you would!"
Last question please!
