Use the paragraph below to answer the question. While I was walking home from school yesterday, I saw the prettiest butterfly I’d ever seen in my life. The creature was as beautiful as a summer sunset. I couldn't stop staring as it danced across the lawn. It was absolutely gorgeous! Which type of figurative language is used in this paragraph? Select the two correct answers. (1 point) Responses metaphor metaphor personification personification hyperbole hyperbole simile simile allusion

Answer 1

The two correct answers that represent the types of figurative language used in the paragraph are:

1. Simile (as the butterfly is compared to a summer sunset using "as beautiful as")
2. Personification (as the butterfly is described as "danced across the lawn," which attributes human-like actions to it)

So the correct choices are simile and personification.
