Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbola means exaggeration as a written stylistic means. Hyperbola is a language image in which an object is depicted in distorted proportions, greatly exaggerated. Hyperbola has been widely utilized, for example, in folklore, lyric, burlesque, satire, and humorous literature. Hyperbola can be used to enhance the central idea of a text. Many expressions are so used in everyday language that they are not perceived as hyperbolic. For example, the reply "I haven't seen you in a hundred years" or "the room was quite full" are hyperbolic.

a myth is something that is told for many years that u go looking for and cant find and a truth is something that u can find in real life and can be story's of for example:

mermaid's and unicorns: u can't find them at all so they can be a myth cause u hear story's about them once u go looking for them u won't find them.

dinassours(can't spell): u hear story's about them at school by ur friends and one day ur dad takes u to a museum and u find fossils of them so u realize they are real and not fake.

either a donut or a sphere or a pancake or a flat sphere. it depends on where the vertical line is.

if the line goes through the center of the circle and is perpendicular to a diameter containing the center, then you get a flat circle.

if the line and the diameter of a the circle meet in the center of the diameter and at an angle, you get a pancake.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.
