Answer:

Metaphor

This is a figurative language example of a metaphor because the narrator is comparing the temperature, which is hot to Hades, the god of the underworld in greek mythology.

Step-by-step explanation:

· Juxtaposition-

This term is specific to the contrasts between characters. Where a writer juxtaposes two characters so as to emphasize their opposing qualities, the characters are foils of each other. One example is the tortoise and the hare from the classic fable.

· Personification-

Personification is a literary device that uses the non-literal use of language to convey concepts in a relatable way. Writers use personification to give human characteristics, such as emotions and behaviors, to non-human things, animals, and ideas.

· Metaphor-

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. ... Metaphors are used in poetry, literature, and anytime someone wants to add some color to their language.

· Simile-

simile is a figure of speech and type of metaphor that compares two different things using the words “like” or “as.” The purpose of a simile is to help describe one thing by comparing it to another thing that is perhaps seemingly unrelated.
