Question

Explanation:

To determine the figurative language, analyze each option:

• Hyperbole: Exaggeration, not present here.
• Metaphor: Implied comparison without "like" or "as", not applicable.
• Personification: Gives human traits to non - human. The sun is described as "approaching" and "disappearing" (human - like actions), so this fits.
• Simile: Comparison with "like" or "as", not present.

Answer:

personification
