Answer 1

Incomplete question. However, I provided explanations about the four figurative languages mentioned.

Answer:

Hyperbole

Explanation:

Hyperbole: A hyperbole refers to a literary device that employs the use of exaggerated statements that shouldn't be taken literally. For example, saying,  "the whole Earth stood still when he gave his speech." We notice this example matches the type of figurative language used in the sentence.

Personification: When something that is not human is attributed as though it has human characteristics, it is the figurative language of personification.  For example, saying, "the forest became saddened"

Symbol: It refers to anything that represents something else. For example, the symbol of a heart often symbolizes (represents) love.

Simile​: This figurative language involves a deliberate comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind in other to make a clear description to the listener or audience.
