Answer:
Passage 1 and 2 - Flashback.
Passage 3- Flash forward.
Explanation:
Flashback is the going back to the time in the past which was set before the present scene. Flashbacks provide the extra crucial information from the past to the current situation. They are a character's thinking or reminiscing of the times gone by. Passages 12 and 2 deal with the characters thinking back tro the times they had experienced or done. So, flashback will be matched with passage 1 and 2.
Flash-forward is the exact opposite of flashback. It represents the occurrence or presentation of scenes yet to come or expected to happen in the coming future scenes. Passage 3 reveals/ deals with what is to happen or to be expected in the future ("<em>Let me behold what I shall be in the days to come</em>") . This will be paired with passage 3.
It's not any kind of comparison. Disaster is not compared to either man or wife or both. That makes A and B incorrect.
The problem is that both C and D have possibilities.
Discussion Hyperbole
Usually Hyperbole is an exaggeration used to suggest a humorous condition. We would not take the exact meaning seriously but we might take what the hyperbola is suggesting seriously.
Your smile is worth a million dollars to me.
There once was an ad for Camel's cigarettes that said "I'd walk a mile for a camel." People found the double meaning (cigarette and 4 legged animal) catchy. They also responded to the idea of walking a mile for a camel (either one). The point is, would you really walk a mile for either one? It's exaggerated.
Personification
These are attributes given to things or animals other than other inanimate things. In your case, your example swallows up man and wife together is a personification because whatever doing the swallowing, normally can't do it.
