Explanation: "Hyperbole" is a literary device or technique that involved exaggeration.
______________
From the answer choices given, the term: "shot heard round the world" is the only choice that fits this definition.

However, there could have been widespread consequences of a shot (even a single shot); or even worldwide consequences.

It certainly could be heard "round the field"; thus eliminating answer choice "D".
