Lorico [155]

Answer:

Simile ↔ C) My phone slipped through my fingers <u>like</u> butter.

Personification ↔ D) The <u>face</u> of my phone had many <u>scars</u> from being dropped.

Symbol ↔ A) I wanted to wave the <u>white flag</u> after searching for my phone.

Hyperbole ↔ E) My phone <u>is my lifeline</u> to the world.

Metaphor ↔ B) I wouldn't <u>trade</u> my phone <u>for a million </u><u>dollars</u>.

Explanation:

Whatever I underlined is supposed to hint at why each sentence matches the way it does.

For example: Similes compare ideas to each other, sort of like metaphors do, but they use the words "like" or "as" to do so.

Hope this makes sense :)
