: B. Using hyperbole to describe people’s actions is a common method authors use to emphasize absurdity. Hyperbole is the use of extreme exaggeration to make a point or show emphasis. When authors describe characters' actions or situations in an overly exaggerated way that is clearly not possible or realistic, it often highlights the absurdity of the scenario, drawing attention to the ridiculousness or satirical nature of what is being depicted.
