Read the excerpt from mark twain's memoir, life on the mississippi. i was quaking from head to foot, and i could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far. what is the most likely meaning of the phrase "i could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far" in this sentence? it is hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear. it is a simile that means that the author's hat was falling over his eyes. it is an oxymoron that means that the author could not see anything. it is personification that means that the author's eyes were too big for his face.

The sentence "I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far" is an hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.

This is the correct option is we take into account that an hyperbole is an exaggeration not meant to be taken literally and of course it is not to be taken literally that the writer could have hung his hat on his eyes.

It is not a simile because the hat was not falling and it is not an oxymoron or a personification because it is not talking about the hat itself but using it to express his feelings.

It is hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.

Explanation:

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )
