Answer:

these are all figures of speech used in american English. A metaphor and simile are comparisons. A metaphor compares two things without using the words "like" or "as". A simile is a comparison using the words "like" or  "as". A hyperbole is an exaggeration or make something seem more outrageous than it actually is. Personification is when you as the writer give non living object personal feelings or actions. hope that helps!   :)

Explanation:

Examples:

Metaphor: My dog is a pig

Simile: my son eats like a wild animal  

Hyperbole: My dog flew out the window at my grandma's house

Personification: The trees were swaying to the music

Sonja [21]

Answer:

No, there is no credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than long terms of imprisonment. States that have death penalty laws do not have lower crime rates or murder rates than states without such laws.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

"Oil spills affect water in a variety of ways. When oil is released into water, it does not blend with the water. Oil floats on the surface of salt and fresh water. Over a very short period of time, the oil spreads out into a very thin layer across the surface of the water. This layer, called a slick, expands until the oil layer is extremely thin. It then thins even more. This layer is called a sheen and is usually less than 0.01 mm thick."
