Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which is an example of onomatopoeia?

Answer: pop

The term onomatopoeia refers to words whose sound imitates what they are describing.
2. Which is an example of hyperbole?

Answer: she is as big as a house

This is a hyperbole because it greatly exaggerates her size. It is also a simile, because it is a comparison using the word 'as'.
3. Which is an example of a metaphor?

Answer: life is a dream

A metaphor describes one thing by saying that it is another - suggesting that the two share important qualities.

Similes resemble metaphors, but instead of saying the two things are the same, they are said to be similar (usually using the term like or as). Life is like a box of chocolates is an example of a simile.
4. Which is an example of a simile?

Answer: life is like a box of chocolates

A simile compares two different objects or ideas by saying that one is like the other, emphasising the features that are similar.

Answer: grouchy

Someone who is mean may be stingy and ungenerous, or they may be acting vindictively or with an ill humor.
