Answer:

imagery, simile, and metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagery is when an author uses very very specific words to create a visual picture in your mind. An example of this is for sight an author could write, The sunset on the beach was so beautiful, the pink, reds, and oranges made the sky light up the sky beautifully as well as the blue waters below.

Simile: A simile is a way to compare two things using like or as. An example of this is, "As cute as a button!"

Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech where a word or phrase is applied to an object or action where it is not literally applicable. An example of this is, "The calm lake was a mirror."

Hope this helps :)
