Answer 2

B. Personification

Personification is giving non-human things human-like qualities. For example, the trees danced in the breeze. In the example trees are not human but are given the human-like trait of dancing. The purpose of this figurative language is to create a picture in the reader's mind. It can also help to set the mood of the story.

Conceit is being prideful. A conceited person is one who is extremely egotistical and excessively proud of him/herself.

Metonymy is using an object as a substitute for the name of the concept. An example would be a baseball diamond for baseball game.
