Answer:
A. Simile ➡️ Life is like a box of chocolates.
B. Metaphor ➡️Ping pong was his life.
C. Hyperbole➡️He ran for an eternity.
D. Personification ➡️The world is just waiting for you to go enjoy it.
E. Allusion ➡️Maybe Forrest Gump had it right about life.
Explanation:
I have been able to successfully match the figurative terms to their examples.
Simile is a figurative term which uses "as" and "like" to compare things. Metaphor is a figure of speech which actually explains or describes something in a way that is not literally true but actually helps to make a comparison.
Hyperbole is a figure of speech which tends to exaggerate and overemphasize something in order to get noticed. It is usually used to overly stress something. Just like this example: "He ran for an eternity"
Personification is a figure of speech which attributes human qualities to a thing, idea or an animal. Just like the above example on personification; attributing the world to a person that can wait. While allusion is used to directly or indirectly refer an object or situation.
