Answer 1

Answer: extended metaphor

Answer 2

This author uses many figures of speech:

1. Hyperbole means over exaggerating the sentence. From text " Don't get too close or he might bite!"

2. Metaphor means put words that are not related in a sentence. From the text "Ben growled at the man who parked too close to his car."

3. Personification means formal language in a sentence that has a sense of imagery. In text "He was always guarding his prized possession."
