Answer: Final Sentence - "He was worshipping, with all his body and soul, but he looked as if he couldn't stir hand or foot."
Explanation: A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement or claim not meant to be taken literally. Using that information, it makes it obvious that 1 and 3 are not exaggerated sentences. It then leaves 2 and 4 as the remaining ones, which two exclaims our protagonist to "nearly faint".
However, sentence 4 demonstrates the exact aexaggeration that searched for. To worship with soul and body, I believe that makes obvious to already be a sentence to not be taken literally at all.
