    The correct answer is D (She effectively uses more hyperbole to support her exaggerated claim about the impact of fashion on her life)

    Explanation:

    Hyperbole is an exaggeration of something in order to highlight it. In this case, she exaggerates the effect of having the boots in her life when she states that "The rest of my life would be endurable". For the reader that is totally impossible and absolutely overreacted because a pair of boots could not endure anyone's life, therefore for the author, it's absolutely necessary to show how having the boots is a need and not just a wish.
