(A) The stars danced in the sky (I) Hyperbole
(B) She sells seashells (II) Personification
(C) I could eat a horse (III) Metaphor
(D) Life is a roller coaster (IV) Alliteration

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

List-I	List-II
(Sentences)	(Figures of speech)
(A) The stars danced in the sky	(I) Hyperbole
(B) She sells seashells	(II) Personification
(C) I could eat a horse	(III) Metaphor
(D) Life is a roller coaster	(IV) Alliteration

(A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)

(A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)

(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)

(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

✅ Correct Option: 2

(A) "The stars danced in the sky" → Personification (II) - Stars are given the human quality of dancing

(B) "She sells seashells" → Alliteration (IV) - Repetition of the 's' sound at the beginning of consecutive words

(C) "I could eat a horse" → Hyperbole (I) - Exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally

(D) "Life is a roller coaster" → Metaphor (III) - Direct comparison between life and a roller coaster without using "like" or "as"

Hence, Option 2: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III) → This correctly matches personification to stars dancing, alliteration to the repeated 's' sounds, hyperbole to the exaggerated eating claim, and metaphor to the life comparison → correct
