Which statement best describes how hyperbole creates humor? The opposite of what is expected happens, creating a humorous scene.
A phrase or statement is repeated over and over, creating a humorous effect.
The audience knows more than the characters, creating a funny interaction.
A character's reaction or feelings are exaggerated to the point they are funny.

☁️My Answer☁️:

I believe the correct answer that best describes how a hyperbole creates humor is the last option which is, A character's reaction or feelings are exaggerated to the point they are funny, because a hyperbole is an exaggerated statement or claim and not meant to be taken literally. So this option would be the best option because it explains what a hyperbole is and how a hyperbole creates humor.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
