6. The opportunity knocked at his door. The plants in her house silently begged to be watered. The car danced across the icy road. The moon is smiling at us. Those cookies are calling my name.

7. GENERALIZATION A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using words 'like' or 'as' while metaphor is a comparison between two words but without using 'like' or 'as'. Personification involves giving human qualities to non-living things, while hyperbole is an exaggeration.
