    First, you should know that a hyperbole is a resource used in literature to intentionally intensify what is been saying, in other words, overreact. Looking at this extract of the poem, we can choose B "hyperbole to dramatize the mirror's suggestions" as the correct answer. We can see it in the last line "I think it is part of my heart", the narrator is clearing exaggerating because he wants to express the feeling of huge love he has for the mirror and how he trust completely on it.

    The literary device that the poet is using in those lines is that of Personification to allow the mirror's expression of thoughts.

    In this poem by Sylvia Plath, we have a mirror as a narrator which is an inanimate object, as we know personification is a figure of speech that we use when we give human attributes to a thing.
