Select the hyperbole in the passage.

Now I stared out the window, wondering if those houses with lights had trees up
already and if there were presents under them. The Christmas before last, I'd
gotten so much stuff, I thought I'd never stop unwrapping. Most of it was still in
Denver somewhere. Stuffed animals, games, clothes, gone. Even the ring Daddy had
given me with TOSWIAH engraved into the gold.

Answer: "I thought I'd never stop unwrapping" is the hyperbole in the passage.

Explanation:

The hyperbole is an exaggeration used to emphasize the point. In this passage, the statement "I thought I'd never stop unwrapping" is a hyperbole as it exaggerates the amount of time it took to unwrap the presents, implying there were too many of them.
