Read the quotation from "to my dear loving husband." "i prize thy love more than whole mines of gold, or all the riches that the east doth hold." these lines contain an example of simile. metaphor. hyperbole. synecdoche.

The answer is indeed C) Hyperbole

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express an idea, a feeling, an action etc. In the quotation we're analyzing here, the speaker wants to make clear the love she feels is tremendous. In order to do so, she says such love is more important than "whole mines of gold, Or all the riches that the East doth hold."

Simile and metaphor are figures of speech that compare things. The first one expresses such comparison by using words such as "like" or "as". Metaphor, on the other hand, does not use such words. Synecdoche uses a part to represent a whole or vice versa. Those three figures of speech are not present in the quotation.

the correct answer is (C)
