Match Term Definition Simile A) The world is just waiting for you to go enjoy it Personification B) Maybe Forrest Gump had it right about life Allusion C) Life is like a box of chocolates

Answer 1

The correct answer would be the answer choice C) Life is like a box of chocolates. The reason for this is because a simile, in figurative language, is a way of comparing two objects using "like" or "as" such as "her smile is like my sunshine," or "he was big as a bull,". In answer choice C, the sentence compares "life" to a box of chocolates using the word like.

Answer 2

Answer: A) The world is just waiting for you to go enjoy it: Personification. B) Maybe Forrest Gump had it right about life: Allusion. C) Life is like a box of chocolates: Simile.

Step-by-step explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals) (for example saying that the world is waiting). Allusion is a literary device that consists in making a brief reference to a person, an event (historical, political, cultural, etc), or a place (for example the reference to Forrest Gump). A simile is a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as" (for example comparing life to a box of chocolates).
