Explanation:

• Question 1: Irony is a literary device where the intended meaning is opposite to the usual sense. Foreshadowing hints at future events. Oxymoron combines contradictory terms. Hyperbole is exaggeration.
• Question 2: A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare. Onomatopoeia imitates sounds. Metaphor states a direct comparison without "like" or "as". Juxtaposition places things side - by - side.
