Question

In 2-3 sentences, list an example of figurative language (simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, idiom, etc.). Then, using the R.A.C.E strategy (restate, answer, cite evidence, explain evidence) as best you can, explain why your answer is figurative language and what the meaning is.

Example: I was so tired that I could have fallen asleep standing up. This sentence is an example of figurative language, specifically a hyperbole. It is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration. While I was extremely tired and could have easily fallen asleep, it was an exaggeration that I could actually fall asleep while standing up.
Please make it simple

Answer 1

His words were music to my ears. This sentence is an example of figurative language, specifically a metaphor. It is a metaphor because it compares someone's words to music without using "like" or "as." It conveys that the speaker found the words pleasing and enjoyable, similar to how music is appreciated.
