(and explain why)

C) Hyperbole

Explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement or opinion to convey strong feelings towards something. Saying that the *only* thing students care about is what the other students have to say about them is clearly exaggerated as it is impossible for that to be the only thing they can possibly care about.

This is a very light usage of hyperbole as we see phrases like these being used every day!

explanation:

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
