PLEASE HELP! "Do not linger in Calcutta. Is it not true that if a man stays six months in that city he becomes quite stúpid? If you design to marry Kunda, bring her with you, and I will give her to you." Which statement best explains how hyperbole in the excerpt affects the tone of Surja's letter? Surja wants Nagendra to know she is joking with him and does not believe he has a personal interest in Kunda. Surja is telling Nagendra it is okay to marry another woman because he's been gone too long. S Surja is telling Nagendra she approves of him marrying Kunda because he is not smart anymore. Surja wants Nagendra to understand she is angry, but if he insists she will allow him to marry kunda.
