Question

Please give me the correct answers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

"The sun peered at the ravens from behind the cloud." - Personification

"The flock of ravens darkened the sky like thunderclouds." - Simile

"Snow, that great eraser, made the flock of ravens disappear." - Metaphor

Explanation:

Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things, using the words "like" or "as."

A metaphor also compares two things, however metaphors say something is something else, not using the words "like" or "as."

Answer 2

Answer:

personification, simile, metaphor

Explanation:

• "the sun peered at the ravens from behind the clouds" is personification. personification is when something non-human is given human qualities. "peered" is a verb, and it means to look at someone or something, often searchingly or with difficulty. the sun is not a living human being, therefore writing that the sun "peered" is giving a human behavior or quality to a non-human object.

• "the flock of ravens darkened the sky like thunderclouds" is a simile. a simile is a type of figurative language that compares something using the word "like" or "as" (and in this example, the word "like" is used.)
• "snow, that great eraser, made the flock of ravens disappear" is a metaphor. a metaphor is a comparison, as is a simile, but a metaphor DOES NOT use "like" or "as." instead, it draws a direct comparison. in this sentence, snow is being compared to a "great eraser." notice how there is no "like" or "as" within the comparison, because the snow is directly being compared with an eraser.
