Read through the examples in the lists here. Let us know what you decide.

Answer 2

Hand: A sailor on a ship, as in All Hands on deck.

School: Meaning to teach, to educate: School your children in the art of politeness.

Remember, the word refers to a part used for the whole, or the reverse.

a good eye: his judgement on the strike zone is excellent.
strong arm: Need more context, but arm is refering to significant part of whole, so in the baseball context, a strong thrower, but in this instance: The producer used his strong arm to sign Lada Gaga to the part.

Now, synecdoche is just not part for whole, it can be place for event, and other things.
