Answer:
1)Simile
A simile is a figure of speech that uses comparison. In a simile, we use two specific words “like” and “as” to compare two unlikely things, that actually have nothing in common.

2)Metaphor
A metaphor also uses compares to things that are in no way similar.A metaphor is a word or phrase used to show its similarity to another thing.
example:
“Alex is a chicken”.
3)Personification
n this, we personify or represent a non-human entity as human. this is done to portray the object as alive and help the listener or reader paint a vivid picture.
example:
“The wind howled as the storm grew stronger”
4)Hyperbole
Hyperbole in the Greek language translates to ‘excess’. We use hyperboles to emphasize the importance of something
example:
“Since he has been away from home he has gotten as thin as a toothpick“.
5)Onomatopeia
This is a figure of speech where words or phrases indicate sounds. Often to bring about more imagery and better describe a setting, authors use words to involve all five of our senses. Onomatopeia refers to those words that imitate the sounds of an object or person.
example:
“The bees buzzed around in the garden”
