Hello!

The correct answer is "Hyperbole".

These are statements that are not meant to be taken literally, and very similar to idioms. 

Example: She said she'd be there on time. Meh, took her about eight years.

This is a statement that is exaggerating the amount of time it took the subject to arrive. She didn't <em>actually </em>take eight years; she maybe was only a few minutes late. 

Now, these are not to be confused with similes, which can be <em>very </em>similar depending on the way you use them. 

Example of a similar simile (heh): He moves as fast as a cheetah when it comes to getting something he wants. 

This can be confused with a hyperbole since it is also exaggerating the speed of the subject. However, a simile is meant to be used as a <em><u /></em><u>comparison</u>, not <em>just </em>an exaggeration. This also applies to metaphors, as they are also comparisons, only lacking "like" or "as".

What makes an analogy effective?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

I'm not sure if this is a multiple choice question but the answer is " It compares two unlike things that have more than one thing in common"

Explanation:

In an analogy, the writer takes two different things and makes a connection with it. In order to make a connection, we should first find the similarity between the 2 different things. I'm not if this is okay but on this website it said that  "In an analogy, you yoke together two unlike things (eye and camera, the task of navigating a spacecraft and the task of sinking a putt), and all you care about is their major similarities. The most effective analogies are usually brief and to the point—developed in just a few sentences."
