Answer:

1. hyperbole

2. metaphor

3. hyperbole

4. idiom

5. onomatopoeia

6. simile

7. personification

Explanation:

The above are the figurative languages as they are seen in the sentences in the excerpt.

Hyperbole is known as a figure of speech which uses exaggeration. It is not meant to be taking literally. It tends to create a strong impression. E.g in numbers 1 and 3, we see hyperbole: <em>head spinning</em> and<em> taking forever</em> .

Metaphor is also a figure of speech which tends to describe something in such a way that is not literally true. It then helps to make a comparison of two things that are not alike without the use of "as"  and "like". E.g as seen in No. 2: <em>heart skipped a beat.</em>

An idiom is known to be a group of word which is established due to it usage and having meaning not gotten from the individual words. In other words, idioms does not relate to the literal meaning. E.g as seen in No. 4: <em>the apple of my eye</em>.

Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech that actually creates a word that phonetically imitates or resembles that particular sound that it refers to. E.g as in No. 5: <em>clangs of pots and pans.</em>

Simile refers to the comparison of two things with use of "as" or "like". E.g as seen in No. 6: <em>as white as snow.</em>

Personification is a figure of speech which tends to give human attributes to inanimate objects. E.g as seen in No. 7: <em>Martha's heart is stone.</em>
