Can someone answer all of these please? 1. What is an oxymoron?
2. What is the difference between hyperbole and an understatement?
3. What is one similarity and one difference between a simile and metaphor.
4. Explain personification.
5. Explain the meaning of figurative and literal.

Ans 1) a phrase that combines two words that seem to be the opposite of each other, such as a deafening silence.

Ans 2) Hyperbole is a figure of speech that makes something seem bigger or more important than it really is. It uses exaggeration to express strong emotion, emphasize a point, or evoke humor.

Understatement is language that makes something seem less important than it really is.

Ans 3) While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”

Ans 4) Personification is a figure of speech in which an idea or thing is given human attributes and/or feelings or is spoken of as if it were human. Personification is a common form of metaphor in that human characteristics are attributed to nonhuman things.

Ans 5)Literal language means exactly what it says, while figurative language uses similes, metaphors, hyperbole, and personification to describe something often through comparison with something different.
