Tortoise did not give up as he slowly crawled to the finish line. Rabbit was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he already passed it, maybe he got lost?
“Grandma Nancy is older than the hills” is the hyperbole
A time that I often use acronyms is PEMDAS for math. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses Exponents Multiply Divide Add Subtract. This particular acronym is used for simplifying expressions with 2 or more operations. This was a very useful technique because it really stuck in the brain and helped me remember which order to simplify the expression.
Hope this helps :)
