Answer 1

Figurative language terms such as personification, metaphor, and onomatopoeia are demonstrated in passages a) as personification, b) as metaphor and c) as onomatopoeia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The task involves matching examples of figurative language with the correct terms. In passage a), personification is depicted as the express car being 'dragged along at the tail of shrieking locomotives,' suggesting the inanimate car expresses pain or discomfort like a living being. For passage b), we find a metaphor in the description of the song of the huskies; comparing their howling to the 'pleading of life,' it shows a direct comparison of two unlike things without using 'like' or 'as'. Lastly, passage c) illustrates onomatopoeia with 'creeping, crawling, flying,' words that mimic the sounds they describe, providing an auditory sense to the reader.
