Question

Please help:) Identify the type of figurative language in each example

Answer 1

Answer:

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

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

3. Your eyes are like stars ------- simile

4. She is a monster ------- metaphor

Explanation:

1. Hyperbole: Exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

2. Personification: The attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

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.
