Part I: Match
We are given phrases and need to match them with the correct type of figurative language. Here’s how we can solve this:
#### Types of Figurative Language:
1.
Alliteration: Repetition of the same initial consonant sound in a series of words.
2.
Simile: A comparison using "like" or "as."
3.
Metaphor: A direct comparison between two unlike things.
4.
Onomatopoeia: Words that imitate sounds.
5.
Oxymoron: A combination of contradictory terms.
6.
Hyperbole: An exaggerated statement for emphasis.
7.
Personification: Giving human characteristics to non-human entities.
#### Phrases:
- A. His heart was a block of ice.
- B. Open secret.
- C. Pink and purple popsicles.
- D. The cup danced joyfully across the table.
- E. Heavy as a rock.
- F. She was humming a song.
- G. Everyone knows that!
#### Matching:
1.
Alliteration:
- Phrase: C. Pink and purple popsicles.
- Explanation: The repeated "p" sound in "pink," "purple," and "popsicles" is an example of alliteration.
2.
Simile:
- Phrase: E. Heavy as a rock.
- Explanation: The phrase uses "as" to compare something to a rock, making it a simile.
3.
Metaphor:
- Phrase: A. His heart was a block of ice.
- Explanation: This directly compares a heart to a block of ice without using "like" or "as," making it a metaphor.
4.
Onomatopoeia:
- Phrase: F. She was humming a song.
- Explanation: "Humming" is a word that imitates the sound of humming, so it is onomatopoeic.
5.
Oxymoron:
- Phrase: B. Open secret.
- Explanation: "Open" and "secret" are contradictory terms, making this an oxymoron.
6.
Hyperbole:
- Phrase: G. Everyone knows that!
- Explanation: This is an exaggerated statement implying universal knowledge, which is hyperbole.
7.
Personification:
- Phrase: D. The cup danced joyfully across the table.
- Explanation: The cup is given the human ability to "dance," which is personification.
#### Final Match:
1. Alliteration → C
2. Simile → E
3. Metaphor → A
4. Onomatopoeia → F
5. Oxymoron → B
6. Hyperbole → G
7. Personification → D
