The breeze felt like a refreshing drink of lemonade. The night air was fuel for my work, and it was a beautiful night. If I was going to finish writing this test, then it was going to be the longest night of my life. Then like booming thunder, a light bulb went off in my head. I searched for the perfect program where I could peruse several small suggestions swiftly. Sadly, my time on Herculean efforts on Google reminded me of a crazy Spongebob Squarepants episode. Even though I knew what I was searching for, it didn’t go well. It seems that I will be working like a dog for tonight. One good thing did happen, though: I finally discovered what one calls a super articulate dinosaur... a Thesaurus..., and next time a dinosaur drops by for lunch, I'll know how to properly invite him. "Tea, Rex?"
The underlined sentence shows which figurative language?
metaphor
simile
alliteration
personification
I do not know

This week had been a shipwreck! Monday greeted with a slap on the face as my alarm clock screamed at me to get up. I woke up feeling as ragged as a old pair of holey shoes. I got on my bus feeling like I'd stepped through Platform 9 3/4 into a Hogwarts experience. First of all, math landed an uppercut with a Job-sized problem that had no solution. My mathematician teacher assured me that if I just used my head as something besides a hat rack, I'd find the answer. Then I trudged to English feeling like something the cat dragged, and my friend Paige accidentally gave me a glue stick instead of chapstick. I'm still not talking to her. Although it took forever and a day to get here, Friday finally showed up with her famously fat smile on her face. What TWO uses of figurative language are used here?
pun
personification
hyperbole
allusion
I do not know
