发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these rhymes exactly with hyperbole (/haɪˈpɝbəˌli/). Bole, pole, and whole rhyme with one another (/oʊl/), but hyperbole's final -bole is /bəli/, so they are spelling lookalikes. Hyperbola is a close spelling relative but ends in /lə/, not /li/. Broccoli and probably are near-sound matches only toward the end.
