Q.  Pick the word/phrase closest in meaning to the given word:

Hyperbole
- Published on 14 Mar 16

a. Exaggeration
b. Flaw
c. Overly Active
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Exaggeration
 
(a) is the correct choice because hyperbole is an exaggeration or incorrect surmise. This differs from flaw which means fault and overly active as too energetic. None of the above is also a wrong choice for this question. Hyperbole is derived from a Greek word for over casting and it implies exaggerated statements which are not meant to be taken seriously.
