Answer:

Personification
metaphor
hyperbole

Explanation:

The figurative language used in the sentence above are:

Personification
Metaphor
Hyperbole.

Personification is the rhetorical device in which human qualities are personified to non-human things such as animals, objects, things, etc.

In the first sentence, 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 second sentence, 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 third sentence, 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.
