Answer:

Hyperbole: I swear I'll love you for a million years

Personification: my pencil dances over the blank page

Metaphor: my sister is a dragon fierce and mean​

Explanation:

Figurative Language helps bring an appealing effect in the writing. There are many types of Figurative Languages like Simile, metaphor, Personification, Hyperbole, Alliteration to name a few.

In hyperbole there is use of exaggeration in the writing. In sentence 1, it says that I will love for million years, which is exaggeration of the time for which the person will love the other one. It only means that person will love the other one forever, a long time. So, it is a use of Hyperbole.

Second sentence uses personification as compares a non living thing to a characteristic of a living thing. Pencil is an object which cannot dance, but it is mentioned in this sentence. So, it is personifying pencil.

Third sentence is a metaphor as sister is called dragon in this. She is being called fierce like a dragon.

Which of these phrases uses parallelism to create a sad tone?
Sati [7]

The correct answer is B. I called for Sadie. Sadie didn't answer. I waited up for Sadie didn't come home.

Explanation:

Parallel constructions involve the repetition of a grammatical pattern including the use of the same tense or grammatical form to express elements of the same importance. This structure is used in the sentence "I called for Sadie. Sadie didn't answer. I waited up for Sadie didn't come home" because in this sentence all the actions are expressed using the simple past tense through verbs such as called, waited, or didn't answer. Moreover, this structure helps the author create a sad tone because all the actions expressed the idea Sadie cannot be found.
