    Correct Answer
    A. Simile
    Explanation
    The given sentence compares the brightness or sparkle of the person's eyes to the shine of diamonds. This is an example of a simile because it uses the word "like" to make the comparison. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using "like" or "as". In this case, the comparison emphasizes the brightness and attractiveness of the person's eyes.

    Correct Answer
    A. Alliteration

    The correct answer is alliteration because alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words in a phrase or sentence. In this case, the repetition of the "r" sound in "red raspberries ripen really fast" creates an alliteration.

    A. Onomatopoeia
    Explanation
    The given answer "onomatopoeia" is correct because it refers to a word or phrase that imitates or suggests the sound it is describing. In this case, "clicketty clack" is an example of onomatopoeia as it imitates the sound of something repetitive and rhythmic, like the sound of a train moving on the tracks.

    The tree canopy was an umbrella sheltering us from the rain.

    • Alliteration

    • Rhyme

    • Idiom

    • Metaphor

    Correct Answer
    A. Metaphor
    Explanation
    The sentence "The tree canopy was an umbrella sheltering us from the rain" is using a metaphor. It is comparing the tree canopy to an umbrella, suggesting that the tree canopy provided protection from the rain, just like an umbrella would. Metaphors are figures of speech that make a comparison between two unrelated things to create a vivid image or convey a certain meaning. In this case, the metaphor helps to emphasize the sheltering and protective nature of the tree canopy.

  • 7. 

    The lightning lashed out in anger.

    • Alliteration

    • Personification

    • Hyberbole

    • Rhyme

    Correct Answer
    A. Personification
    Explanation
    The given sentence "The lightning lashed out in anger" is an example of personification because it attributes human qualities (anger) to a non-human object (lightning). Personification is a figure of speech that gives human characteristics to inanimate objects or abstract ideas. In this case, the lightning is being described as if it has human emotions and actions, which is personification.
