Answer:

Breakfast was amazing, but I kept knocking stuff off the breakfast table. I couldn't work properly because I had stayed up the whole night typing away without stopping on the huge computer like a beaver tirelessly building a dam out of wood. I somehow managed to go to school where I had to write more boring essays. Finally, the bell rung to signal the start of lunchtime. A most heavenly time.

Underlined= conjunctions

Bold= descriptive words

Italics= figurative language

Explanation:

First of all, you need to know what descriptive language, coordinating conjunctions and figurative language is.

Conjunctions are words which link two sentences together. Examples of thse are: but, and, or, as well as etc.

Figurative language is all about metaphors, similes, personifications etc. Figurative language include words and phrases such as: He slept like a log (simile). These type of sentences compare an object to another object, but not in a literal way.

Descriptive language is about describing a scene, object, person etc. A descriptive word can be an adjective, metaphor, adverb, simile and other word groups.

Hope this helps.
