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.

We must put excited feelings away. Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the physical might of the natio

Leokris [45]

The best answer for this question is the first one, "not about emotions but about defending the nation." Rather than listening to anger or other "excited" feelings that we have, we must operate in wars using reason, calmness, and rationality in order to make the best decisions. Decisions that come out of excited feelings can end in more destruction. The purpose of war is to protect the rights of people, in this case the American people. Hope this helps.
