Answer:

"The children climbed higher than the sun's rays that afternoon."

Explanation:

a hyperbole is an unrealistic exaggeration.

Nobody can actually<em> climb</em> higher than the sun's rays.

also...

the first one is personification (giving things that don't have human characteristics, human characteristics)

the second one is a simile (a comparison between two things and uses the words "like" and/or "as")

and the third one is a metaphor (a comparison between two objects and doesn't used the words "like" <em>or </em>"as")

I hope this helps. Have an amazing day, bean child.
