Explanation:

Question 3

The sentence "After a long day of hiking, he slept like a log" uses "like" to compare his sleep to a log, which is a simile. So the correct option is A. Simile.

"The warm sun peeked out from behind the grey clouds" gives the sun the human action of "peeking", which is personification. So the correct option is F. Personification.

"Bees busily buzzed through the blossoms" has the repeated initial consonant sound of "b" in "bees", "busily", and "buzzed", which is alliteration. Also, "buzzed" is an onomatopoeia, but alliteration is more prominent here. So the correct option is D. Alliteration.

Answer:

A. Simile
