C.) metaphor
A metaphor is figurative language because it is a figure of speech in which a comparison is being made between two things that are generally quite different in order to provide a more impactful/effective description. A metaphor states one thing is another thing as is the case with the sentence you provided in which a person is being called an ostrich in order to provide the best description for readers.
Okay so gerunds are a form that is derived from a verb but that functions as a noun, in English ending in -ing, example would be like asking in 'do you mind my asking you?'
So the first one would be 'giggling', then the second one would be 'fixing.'
the next two would be a bit harder because there are no words that have a prefix of -ing, but im not to sure about them because i dont think they have a gerund in them...
but the next ones are, 'laughing' and 'squinting'
sorry i couldnt help with all of them.
