Answer:
hyperbole and figurative language
Explanation:
First Draft: Last week, I won two tickets to see the hottest band in the country perform. I will never forget the anticipation I felt waiting to find out if I was the lucky caller. The only problem was that I would have to choose who to go with me: Jackie or Sharon.
Revision: Last week, I won two tickets to see the hottest band in the country perform. I was on pins and needles as I hung on the line, dying to see if I was the lucky caller. The only problem was that I would be forced to make a choice between my two best friends. Should I invite Jackie or Sharon?
As you can see the revision uses hyperboles and figurative language so it makes it harder to make a choice.

Explanation:
Answer:
He
Explanation:
"He" is a subject pronoun, and "Him" is an object pronoun, in order to understand why one fits in the sentence and the other does not, it is important to differentiate between these two.
Subject pronouns are the pronouns that perform the action in a sentence or the pronouns that are being discussed and deal with within the sentence. In this case, "His partner and he" are the main focus on the sentence, and they are the ones who perform the main action which is to be best dancers. (It is important to note that "He and his partner" sounds much better than "His partner and he").
As for object pronouns, they are pronouns receiving the action in the sentence.
For a better understanding of these concepts, check the following sentence:
She gave him a book.
Who does the main action (to give a book)? "She", therefore, "she" is the subject pronoun.
Who does receive the main action, or who are given to the book? "Him", therefore, "him" is the object pronoun.
The answer is B: you understand their criticism.
Many people resent criticism, we cannot ignore a criticism from a superior in an organization,and we cannot depend on our own criticism. So, it's very important to recognise that there is value in constructive criticism. It helps to identify our weaknesses and enables us to improve our relationships, skills and be more productive.
