Answer: Personification

Step-by-step explanation:

Time cannot grab you physically, but a person can. Using a human quality on something that is not human is personification.

Answer:

Metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

That's a metaphor. Time is not ACTUALLY grabbing you by the hand, that's impossible. Therefore it's a metaphor.
