Answer 1

The line "The sun was shining on the sea" does not directly fit any of the figurative language types you provided, but among these options, the best fit would be **Personification**. This is because it attributes a human action (shining) to the sun, although it's a common descriptive phrase rather than a strong example of personification. However, it does not involve a comparison (as in simile), exaggerated claims (as in hyperbole), or a direct comparison without using "like" or "as" (as in metaphor).

If you were looking for a more straightforward example of figurative language, more context or a rephrase may help. But for your options, the most fitting answer is **Personification**.
