Match the following figurative language terms with the bold text in the passages that use them.

Personification A) Among the terriers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterly ignored, for he was king,—king over all creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller's place, humans included.

Metaphor B) For two days and nights this express car was dragged along at the tail of shrieking locomotives; and for two days and nights Buck neither ate nor drank

Onomatopoeia C) With the aurora borealis flaming coldly overhead, or the stars leaping in the frost dance, and the land numb and frozen under its pall of snow, this song of the huskies might have been the defiance of life, only it was pitched in minor key, with long‐drawn wailings and half‐sobs, and was more the pleading of life, the articulate travail of existence

Answer:

i got a 100% on the quiz if you have any more questions drop them in the comments

Step-by-step explanation:

Personification: With the aurora borealis flaming coldly overhead, or the stars leaping in the frost dance, and the land numb and frozen under its pall of snow, this song of the huskies might have been the defiance of life, only it was pitched in minor key, with long‐drawn wailings and half‐sobs, and was more the pleading of life, the articulate travail of existence

it is personification because the aurora borealis is the sky, and it is an inanimate/non-human/real object, that is given characteristics of a human.

Metaphor: Among the terriers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterly ignored, for he was king,—king over all creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller's place, humans included.

it is a metaphor because it describes the king by saying it's something else.

Onomatopoeia: For two days and nights this express car was dragged along at the tail of shrieking locomotives; and for two days and nights Buck neither ate nor drank

it is onomatopoeia because you can almost hear what it is describing, like in the text is says shrieking, making it seem like you can hear it.
