    Explanation
    The phrase "clatter of the utensils" is an example of onomatopoeia because it imitates the sound of the utensils. Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech in which words are used to imitate sounds.

    • Alliteration

    • Personification

    Correct Answer
    A. Metaphor
    Explanation
    The phrase "My heart is a lonely hunter" is comparing the speaker's heart to a lonely hunter. This comparison is not meant to be taken literally, but rather to convey the idea that the speaker's heart is longing for something or someone, just like a lonely hunter is searching for prey. This use of figurative language is a metaphor, as it is a direct comparison between two unrelated things.

    A. Hyperbole
    Explanation
    The phrase "The stars fell down to your beauty" is an example of hyperbole, which is an exaggeration for emphasis or dramatic effect. This statement suggests that the person's beauty is so extraordinary that it caused the stars to fall down. This is clearly an exaggerated statement, as stars cannot physically fall down to someone's beauty. Hyperbole is often used in literature and poetry to create vivid and exaggerated imagery.
