Which type of figurative language uses exaggeration for effect?

Hyperbole
Simile
Symbolism
Metaphor

The correct answer is: Hyperbole

Hyperbole is the correct answer because it is a type of figurative language that involves exaggeration for emphasis or effect. It is used to create a dramatic or humorous impact by overstating or magnifying a particular characteristic or situation. In contrast, simile involves comparing two unlike things using "like" or "as," symbolism involves using symbols to represent ideas or qualities, and metaphor involves implying a comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as."
