  • A.Isabel goes to the theater, and the next day, she tells her co-workers that the play was excellent.
  • B.The realtor describes the house, which is eleven blocks away from the ocean, as prime waterfront property.
  • C.During the job interview, Fred, who has been teaching elementary school for ten years, describes himself as a very experienced teacher.
  • D.The basketball coach says it is likely that only the most talented players will get a college scholarship.

Answer: B

The best example is the realtor.

Embellishing the truth is adding fictitious details or exaggerating facts. A house eleven blocks from the ocean is not waterfront, so calling it prime waterfront property exaggerates.

Isabel is giving an opinion about a play. Fred has taught for ten years, so calling himself very experienced is fair. The coach only states a likelihood. None of these invents or inflates a fact.
