Which one is a hyperbole and which one is a metaphor? A. He ran for an eternity.
B. Ping pong was his life.

He ran for an eternity.- Hyperbole

Ping pong was his life.- Metaphor

Explanation:

Figurative languages are used by writers to give more "life" to their works. They help create this 'color' in the text, through the use of different elements.

A simile is when two unrelated things are compared using "as" or "like" in the sentence.

Personification is when human attributes are given to non-living things.

A metaphor is also another form of comparison but without the use of "as" or "like".

An allusion is when a reference to a well-known person, place, or thing is made.

Hyperbole is when an exaggerated statement is made, overemphasizing the point.

Hey there!

Hyperbole :-

A. He ran for an eternity.

Hyberbole is used when you exaggerate something. Surely a person cannot run for an eternity. It's just an exaggeration to show that the person ran for a long time. So, it's a hyberbole.

Metaphor :-

B. Ping pong was his life.

Here, this sentence is a metaphor because it compares ping pong to the person's life without the use of like/as. This sentence tells that ping pong meant everything to the person.
