Answer 2

Answer:

Figurative language, or figures of speech, are rhetorical devices used by writers and speakers to give words meaning beyond their usual, literal definition. ..

Explanation:

Simile:- A simile is saying something is like something else...

metaphor :- A metaphor is often poetically saying something is something else. An analogy is saying something is like something else to make some sort of an explanatory point. You can use metaphors and similes when creating an analogy.

personification:- Personification means: “Giving an object or animal human characteristics to create interesting imagery.” An example of personification would be in the nursery rhyme “Hey Diddle Diddle” where “the little dog laughed to see such fun.” Anthropomorphism means: “Making an object or animal act and look like they are human.”
