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.
