Looking at the worksheet, I need to identify which sentences contain hyperbole.
First, let me recall what hyperbole is: It's an exaggerated statement that isn't meant to be taken literally. It's used to make a point more interesting or dramatic.
Now I'll go through each sentence:
1. "The pizza we ordered was delivered in a blink of an eye." - This is hyperbole because delivery can't actually happen in a blink. It exaggerates how fast it was.
2. "The house I'd buy to buy castle for fortune." - This doesn't make grammatical sense and doesn't contain clear exaggeration. Not hyperbole.
3. "Gary went on a long walk of her his supper." - This is confusing and doesn't contain exaggeration. Not hyperbole.
4. "Hal really is as big that he enters the house on hour before he dies." - This is poorly worded but seems to be trying to say someone is so big they enter the house an hour before dying. This could be hyperbole if it means he's so large it takes an hour to enter, but the wording is too unclear.
5. "I weighed more than a whale, after I finished the entire pizza." - This is hyperbole because no human can weigh more than a whale. It exaggerates how full the person feels.
6. "Nothing can stop Rick from winning the championship this year." - This is hyperbole because "nothing" is an absolute exaggeration. There's always something that could potentially stop someone.
7. "They often go to the library on weekends." - This is a factual statement with no exaggeration. Not hyperbole.
8. "Kim waited for centuries to go to Disneyland." - This is hyperbole because centuries is an extreme exaggeration for how long someone waited.
9. "I have a mile long list of chores to do today." - This is hyperbole because the list isn't literally a mile long. It exaggerates how many chores there are.
10. "My little sister never stops talking." - This is hyperbole because "never" is an absolute exaggeration. Everyone takes breaks from talking.
11. "I have a ton of math homework tonight." - This is hyperbole because "ton" is an exaggeration for how much homework there is.
12. "Grandma took forever to bake my favorite cookies." - This is hyperbole because "forever" is an exaggeration for how long it took.
So the sentences with hyperbole are: 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Final Answer: 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
