When the author writes, "fred johnson is currently working on it while sitting in a cubicle checking the four thousand emails on his palm pilot," which literary technique is being used?
a) analogy
b) comparison
c) exaggeration
d) understatement

Well it isn’t and understatement as that would mean it was being down played as something small. 4,000 emails is not small. There is no comparison, so that is out. An Analogy is also a comparison usually done for clarification ornto help one understand something. Exaggeration is the best answer here for it is highly unlikely that Fred actually had 4,000 emails that he was checking.

Fred Johnson is unlikely to have four thousand emails; the number is an exaggeration to stress the author's point.
