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.
