Which line contains hyperbole?

She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans,
She simply would not take the garbage out.
And so it piled up to the ceilings:
Coffee grounds, potato peelings,

Answer: the answer is "And so it piled up to the ceilings"

Explanation: this is because a hyperbole exaggerates the situation in a sentence or writing piece. The garbage didn't really pile up to the ceiling the author just wanted to exaggerate more than it actually is.

!Hope It Helps!

The answer is definitely: "And so it piled up to the ceilings" since the author is using exaggeration as a literary technique to make the situation seem even worse than it is.

I hope this answer helps you :)!
