Answer 1

Here are the matches for the sentences and their corresponding figures of speech:

1. The stars danced in the sky. - B. Personification
2. She sells seashells by the seashore. - A. Hyperbole (this is actually a tongue twister and not necessarily hyperbole; it may not perfectly fit a figure of speech)
3. I’ve told you a million times! - A. Hyperbole
4. The classroom was a zoo. - D. Metaphor
5. He is as brave as a lion. - C. Simile

(Note: The second sentence “She sells seashells by the seashore” does not fit neatly into any traditional figure of speech; it is predominantly a tongue twister.)
