What comedic technique does this excerpt best illustrate? three dollars? only three dollars? why that dog is a most uncommon dog; he can't possibly be worth less than fifty. if he were mine, i wouldn't take a hundred for him. a. sarcasm b. understatement c. irony d. hyperbole

D). Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is used both as a figure of speech to highlight an idea or point and as a comedic technique with a purpose to induce laughter and offer a comic touch to it. This comic or amusing touch or emphasis is provided by the intense exaggeration of common objects that produces a splendid effect leading to evoke laughter.

As per the question, the comedic technique illustrated in the given excerpt is 'hyperbole' as it employs exaggeration('i wouldn't take a hundred for him') to evoke laughter and accentuate the idea 'that dog is a most uncommon dog'.  Thus, option D is the correct answer.

assuming the underlined word is "regnant", the correct answer is b) ruling.

there are not supposed to be quotations (¨ ¨) from an mla citation in a paper. if there was an author then the author´s last name should be in the parentheses instead. if it is a book, the page numbers hould be listed after the last name.

let´s use the book ¨to kill a mockingbird¨ by harper lee as an example:

"atticus finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets¨ (lee 46).

hope this !
