Read "Thought."Which line uses hyperbole to make a statement about thought?

Answer
A
"A swift, successive chain of things"
B
"Now straight, now eddying in wild rings"
C
"No order, neither law, compels their moves"
D
"But endless, constant, always swiftly roves."

“Endless, constant, always swiftly roves” exaggerates how thought moves by describing it as never stopping and always moving quickly. That overstatement is hyperbole, so the correct choice is D, “But endless, constant, always swiftly roves.”
