Answer 1

To assist you in matching the literary devices with their examples, I will provide brief definitions of each device, followed by imaginary examples that you might find in a text. You can then use these examples to match with the correct terms in your exercise.

1. Personification: Giving human traits or characteristics to non-human entities.

   • Example: "The wind whispered through the trees.”

2. Metaphor: A direct comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as."

   • Example: "Time is a thief that steals our moments."

3. Hyperbole: An exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally.

   • Example: "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."

4. Imagery: Descriptive language that appeals to the senses.

   • Example: "The golden rays of the sun danced on the rippling waves, and the salty breeze tickled my skin."

Now you can use these examples to match them with the appropriate literary device in your activity! If you have specific text examples, feel free to share them for more tailored help.
