Answer:

  1. Personification
  2. metaphor
  3. hyperbole

Explanation:

The figurative language used in the sentence above are:

  1. Personification
  2. Metaphor
  3. Hyperbole.
  • Personification is the rhetorical device in which human qualities are personified to non-human things such as animals, objects, things, etc.

In the <u>first sentence</u>, wind, which is a non-human thing is attributed with the human quality of whispering. So, personification is used in the first sentence.

  • Metaphor is the figurative language that is used to compare two unlike things. This rhetorical device is used to state that a thing resembles the same idea as the other in some manner.

In the <u>second sentence</u>, two things are compared that is moon and balloon. The comparison is drawn to state that just like a balloon keeps rising in the sky, floating, the moon resembles the same quality like balloon.

  • Hyperbole is the rhetorical device that is used to state a point exaggeratedly. The word hyperbole is derived from the Greek word which means 'excess.' So, it is used to make a point in an extremely exaggerated way.

In the <u>third sentence</u>, the speaker is making a point of how badly he wants to play the new game. He exaggeratedly makes this point by stating that he will die if he didn't get to play that new game.

So, the correct answers are personification, metaphor and hyperbole.

Which of the following is NOT a technique for speaking to diverse audiences?
valina [46]

Answer:

B). Address different parts of your audience in separate sections of your speech.

Explanation:

The speakers employ a variety of techniques depending on the type or category(educated, specific, diverse, etc.) of the audience in order to convey their intended message effectively.

As per the question, option B displays a technique that could not be employed while addressing a diverse audience as it is quite unmanageable to address the various parts of the audience in distinct sections of the speech due to the vastness of the audience. Thus, it is <u>always recommended to use a simple, precise, and clear portrayal of the idea with vivid details so that it becomes easy to understand and connect to every section of the audience influentially</u>. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
