descriptive language -

personification -

metaphor -
what type of figurative language is used in the following sentence? the mime was kicked out of the restaurant for being too loud.
metaphor
situational irony
personification

Explanation:

To determine the figurative language, we analyze the sentence: a mime (who typically performs silently) being kicked out for being too loud is an unexpected outcome. This matches the definition of situational irony (something happening contrary to natural expectation). Metaphor compares without "like"/"as" (not applicable here), and personification gives human qualities to non - human things (also not applicable). So the correct type is situational irony.

Answer:

situational irony
