The line "The sun was shining on the sea" does not contain hyperbole, metaphor, or simile. Instead, it is a straightforward descriptive statement and does not use figurative language in a notable way. However, if we consider the nature of the sunlight, we could argue that there's a hint of personification in describing the sun as "shining" since it attributes an action typically associated with conscious beings to an inanimate object.
If you must select from the options provided, the closest answer could be "Personification," though it may not be the strongest example.

The phrase "the island of Manhattan" does not contain figurative language; it simply describes a specific geographical location in a straightforward manner. However, if you were looking for a figurative interpretation in a broader context, it might evoke metaphorical meanings based on what Manhattan represents (e.g., cultural diversity, urban life), but in isolation, "the island of Manhattan" is primarily a literal description.
Given the options, and if we must choose one, none of them would be correct as the phrase does not inherently use figurative language like simile, hyperbole, personification, or metaphor. If it were part of a larger metaphorical context or literary device, please provide more context for a better assessment.
