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

Chances are, they've provided either a prompt or several questions for you to answer, and you need to answer all of them or the entire prompt will a lot of description and you need to support whatever you said with detail and/or facts.
