Answer 1

Question 1: The type of figurative language used in the passage is c. Personification. This is because the wind is described as "whispering secrets," which attributes human characteristics to it.

Question 2: The type of figurative language used in the passage is a. Simile. This is evident as it compares students to lions and kangaroos using "like," which is a characteristic of similes.
