Answer:

alliteration and personification

Explanation:

Bulky and backbone are personification, both used to describe people, and you might notice all the b sounds, so that is alliteration

Answer:

personification

Explanation:

A house does not have a backbone, but a person does. With this in mind, this quote is using personification.

"Lifting, fastening bulky beams, Building the backbone of a sturdy house..."

(alliteration could also be thought, bulky beams, Building the backbone, but as the question only asked for one I thought that personification was the biggest figurative language being used here!)
