Identify the type of figurative language that is being used.

A: Simile

C: Personification

I chose B is this correct? Thank you

Thank you so much!!

You are very welcome!

For the first question, you correctly identified the type of figurative language as personification (C). Personification is when non-living things or abstract ideas are given human qualities or characteristics.

For the second question, your choice is incorrect. The type of figurative language being used in Romeo's statement is a simile (A). This is because the phrase "love is like a thorn" compares love to a thorn using the word "like." A simile makes a comparison between two things using "like" or "as."
