- This phrase means someone laughed so hard that it felt like they were going to die. The image should depict someone laughing excessively.

2. "Cried so much he made a lake"
- This phrase means someone cried so much that their tears formed a large body of water (a lake). The image should show someone crying heavily.

3. "His feet are as big as boats"
- This phrase means someone's feet are extremely large,夸张到像船一样大。The image should show someone with very large feet.

4. "My backpack weighs a ton"
- This phrase means the backpack is extremely heavy,夸张到像一吨重。The image should show someone struggling under the weight of a heavy backpack.

5. "So hot I could fry an egg on the sidewalk"
- This phrase means it is extremely hot outside,夸张到可以在人行道上煎鸡蛋。The image should show someone experiencing extreme heat.

6. "So hungry I could eat a horse"
- This phrase means someone is extremely hungry,夸张到可以吃下一整匹马。The image should show someone feeling very hungry.

#### Step 2: Match Phrases with Images

6. "So hungry I could eat a horse"

#### Final Matches:

- "My backpack weighs a ton" → Top-right image
