List-I	List-II	Explanation	Example
(A) Simile	(II) She is like a beautiful yellow sunflower.	A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using "like" or "as", so that one thing is seen in the light of the other. Here she is compared to a sunflower with "like", which brings out her brightness and cheer.	He fought as brave as a lion.
(B) Hyperbole	(I) The school bus had thousands of students.	Hyperbole is deliberate exaggeration, a statement no one is meant to take literally, used for emphasis. No school bus can carry thousands of students. The exaggeration stresses how crowded it was.	I have told you a million times to shut the door.
(C) Metaphor	(IV) She is the tiger of her tribe.	A metaphor says that one thing is another, without "like" or "as", so that the qualities of one pass to the other. Calling her the tiger of her tribe gives her a tiger's courage and strength.	Time is money.
(D) Personification	(III) The books danced in the breeze.	Personification gives human actions or feelings to things that are not human. Books cannot dance. The pages fluttering in the wind are described as if the books were dancing.	The wind whispered through the trees.

Contrast: a simile compares with "like" or "as". A metaphor says that one thing is another.
