Answer:

1. Simile; 2. Metaphor; 3. Hyperbole; 4. Personification

Explanation:

A simile makes a comparison between two things and normally uses the word "as" or "like" to indicate the two things that are being compared. In the first sentence, the subject is being compared with a snake.

A metaphor is also a comparison but it is implicit and the things are not related but share some characteristics; in this case, the early bird characteristics could mean many things, such as not being able to stand for herself or her fragility, among many others.

Hyperbole is a device used to exaggerate things through the language; in the third sentence, the exaggeration comes when the speaker mentions how thirsty he is and the amount of water he could drink.

Personification gives objects characteristics of alive beings, specially humans. In the sentences, the subject (movies) cannot do the action "fly off" unless it is through personification.

Explanation:

When New York State recently marked the 100th anniversary of its passage of women’s right to vote, I ought to have joined the celebrations enthusiastically. Not only have I spent 20 years teaching women’s history, but last year’s Women’s March in Washington, D.C. was one of the most energizing experiences of my life. Like thousands of others inspired by the experience, I jumped into electoral politics, and with the help of many new friends, I took the oath of office as a Dutchess County, New York legislator at the start of 2018.

So why do women’s suffrage anniversaries make me yawn? Because suffrage—which still dominates our historical narrative of American women’s rights—captures such a small part of what women need to celebrate and work for. And it isn’t just commemorative events. Textbooks and popular histories alike frequently describe a “battle for the ballot” that allegedly began with the famous 1848 convention at Seneca Falls and ended in 1920 with adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. For the long era in between, authors have treated “women’s rights” and “suffrage” as nearly synonymous terms. For a historian, women’s suffrage is the equivalent of the Eagles’ “Hotel California”: a song you loved the first few times you first heard it, until you realized it was hopelessly overplayed.

A closer look at Seneca Falls shows how little attention the participants actually focused on suffrage. Only one of their 11 resolutions referred to “the sacred right to the elective franchise.” The Declaration of Sentiments, written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and modeled on the U.S. Declaration of Independence, protested women’s lack of access to higher education, the professions and “nearly all the profitable employments,” observing that most women who worked for wages received “but scanty remuneration.

Based on historical context, April 4, 1974, was a day that will always be "remembered" in baseball history.

<h3>The conclusion of the story goes thus:</h3>

At 2:40 P.M. in Cincinnati, Hank (Henry) Aaron of the Atlanta Braves "tied" what had been Babe Ruth’s unbroken record—714 home runs during a major league baseball career.

He "hit" a 3 ball, 1 strike pitch into a home run that "bounced" over the wall.

Four days later, on April 8, Aaron "breaks" history again. The stadium "was fully" packed, and millions were "listening" and "watching" the game in their homes.

The weather was cool and cloudy. The Dodgers were "down" 3 to 1, and the Braves had one player on first base.

The pitcher "threw" a fastball, and Aaron "caught" it over the left-field fence.

The crowd must have been wild with excitement! Aaron had "hit" number 715 and had "broken" Ruth’s record.

The crowd "stood" up at once and "started" clapping to appreciate the new hero.

Aaron was "filled" with joy among his fellows. Then he "moved" to the stage to "receive" the trophy.

He "became" the famous entity. Nobody after him "broke" his record.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that Hank Aaron is one of the greatest Baseball players.
