Answer 1

It seems that you have provided three sentences that can be categorized into different rhetorical devices or figures of speech. Here’s a breakdown of each sentence along with the applicable term:

1. **Hyperbole**: "I have told you a million times not to do that," said mother. (This is an exaggerated statement for emphasis.)

2. **Irony**: "I can't wait to spend my vacation cleaning the entire house," Sara said as her Spring Break began. (This implies that cleaning is not an enjoyable way to spend vacation time.)

3. **Simile**: "He runs as fast as a cheetah," said the football coach. (This compares someone's speed to that of a cheetah using 'as.')

You can match:

- Hyperbole: "I have told you a million times not to do that," said mother.
- Irony: "I can't wait to spend my vacation cleaning the entire house," Sara said as her Spring Break began.
- Simile: "He runs as fast as a cheetah," said the football coach.
