(A) earnestness
(B) belligerence
(C) simile
(D) hyperbole
(E) understatement

答案和解析

答案:D

解析:

"Hyperbole" is extravagant exaggeration, often not intended to be taken literally. If Marisol is prone, or has a tendency or inclination, to greatly exaggerate things or make extravagantly exaggerated statements, Enrique would know not to take seriously her statement that she was going to sleep for a week.
