Well I will give u an explanation on what all these categories mean so that u recognize easier:

SIMILIE: Sentence that is compared to and uses mostly like and or as.

Example: Her world lit up as if she were in a party.

METAPHOR: sentence that again compares but without like or as.

Example: His smile was a lions roar- sorry Ik that doesn’t make sense but that’s the best I came up with- sorry

Whereas in similie it will be: His smile was as/like a lions roar.

Alliteration: Repetition of initial letters in words. It’s similar to The triplet rule

Example: Aunt Anne ate an Apple.

Onomatopoeia: Words that describe sound.

Example: KABOOM

Hyperbole: Sentences that are exaggerated.

Example: I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse.

Personification: sentences in which words give human characteristics to things, animals etc.

Example: The flowers begged for water.

Answer:

All of them are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Simile uses like or as...

My day went as quick as lightening

The color of my legs is as pale as a ghost

My grandma is nutty as a fruitcake

Metaphor describes something which is not true...

Homework is a breeze

There was a blizzard of activity in the emergency room

It was a whirlwind romance that spun out of control

Alliteration has the same letter or sound...

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

Onomatopoeia is a sound or the source of the sound something makes...

Ding dong! The witch is dead!

She screeched in excitement when she won the radio contest

And the wild things roared the terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth

Hyperbole is an exaggeration...

If I don't get those jeans I will die

I waited in line for centuries

I had to walk 15 miles, uphill, both ways, in snow five feet deep

Personification is giving human qualities to animals or objects...

Trees were dancing in the wind

Opportunity knocked on the door

The sun greeted me this morning
