Answer 2

Answer:

1. Personification

2. Alliteration

3. Irony

4. Simile

Explanation:

1. Alliteration is the conspicuous repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in consecutive or closely connected syllables within a phrase, often used as a literary device.
2. Personification is a figure of speech that occurs when something or abstraction is referred to as a person in literature in the form of anthropomorphic metaphor.
3. Irony, in its broadest sense, is a characterization of a situation that shows that what appears to be the case on the surface constantly contradicts what is actually the case.
4. Simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. It differs from other metaphors by emphasizing the similarities between two things with comparative words like "like", "like", "then" or "what", while other metaphors produce an implied comparison.
