Answer:
The river, curling softly by, / Whispers and dimples round its quiet gray stones - personification
From their sweet feeding in the fruit; / The droning of the bees and flies / Rises gradual as a lute; - simile
After getting my report card / I knew it was time to hit the books. - hyperbole
The earth is the cup of the sun, / That filleth at morning - metaphor
Step-by-step explanation:
Personification represents a figure of speech that consists of attributing human characteristics to nonhuman things or objects, so they represent a human quality in an abstract form.
In our example, river whispers and dimples, which are human characteristics, as the river cannot literally whisper and dimple.
Simile represents a figure of speech which refers to the comparison, by highlighting similarities between two different things.
In this example, the droning of the bees and flies is compared with a lute.
Hyperbole represents a figure of speech based on extreme exaggeration we use to emphasize action, a feeling, etc.
In our example, the author says he will hit the book, which doesn't mean he is going to hit it literally; he wants to say that he will study hard.
The metaphor represents a figure of speech based on implicit comparison between two different things that share some common characteristics.
In the example above, the Earth is compared with a cup of sun, based on its round shape.
