Ten thousand saw i at glance....... Illustrates_________

Answer Details
The statement "Ten thousand saw I at a glance" illustrates hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which an exaggeration is made for emphasis or effect. In this statement, the speaker is exaggerating the number of people they saw, using "ten thousand" as an exaggerated number. This exaggeration serves to emphasize the overwhelming number of people the speaker saw, making it a perfect example of hyperbole.
