Answer:

1. My backpack weighs a ton. ------- hyperbole

2. The daisies danced in the rain ------- personification

3. Simile: A figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g. as brave as a lion).

4. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. ... A metaphor states that one thing is another thing. It equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism.

The answer would be A. whose
B. who's would not make sense in this situation because who's is a contraction which means 'who is'. If that was to be used in the answer, the sentence would be, "Margaret wants to knwo who is bike this is," which makes no sense whatsoever

Whose shows possession
