Please help match the figurative language to the sentences

English
1 answer:
sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1. hyperbole

2. metaphor

3. hyperbole

4. idiom

5. onomatopoeia

6. simile

7. personification

Explanation:

I have been able to match the figurative languages to the sentences in the excerpt.

A figure of speech or figurative language refers to a word or phrase which has a separate meaning that is different from its literal definition or meaning. It's aim is to produce a rhetorical effect.

Hyperbole refers to the figure of speech which uses exaggeration.  In numbers 1 and 3, we see hyperbole: head spinning and taking forever .

Metaphor tends to describe something. It does so in such a way that is not literally true. It compares two things without the use of "as"  and "like". In No. 2: heart skipped a beat.

An idiom is known to be a group of word which does not relate to the literal meaning in that sentence. In No. 4: the apple of my eye.

Onomatopoeia refers to the figure of speech which creates a word that tend to imitate, suggest or resemble the sound that it describes. In No. 5: clangs of pots and pans.

Simile compares two things with the use of "as" or "like". In No. 6: as white as snow.

Personification tends to give human characteristics to inanimate objects. In No. 7: Martha's heart is stone.

Explanation:

An Italian sonnet is made up of an octave and a sestet. The octave has the rhyme scheme of ABBA ABBA, while the sestet has the rhyme schemes of CDE CDE, CDC DCD.

So, if the student wants to edit the sonnet to make it consistent with an Italian sonnet, then he should delete the quatrain and sestet and add a couplet with an EE rhyme scheme.
