Which sentence includes an example of hyperbole? a. "this is very generous of you," she said to her friend as she accepted his gift. b. "it's not so bad," said the coach, although their team was losing by 50 points. c. "my knees are killing me," he complained after the run. d. "it's a little chilly out today," she observed.

C."My knees are killing me," he complained after the run.

A hyperbole is an over exaggeration. The correct answer is "My knees are killing me" because the runners knees aren't actually killing him. They are just painful. The other examples are not hyperbole because nothing is being exaggerated. The friend is being generous. Depending on perspective losing by 50 points may not be so bad. Also, it could be chilly out.
