Question

“You know how it is, when you wake up in a strange place and wonder where in the world you are, until memory comes rushing over you like a wave.”What type of figurative language is used in the example?

Hyperbole
Simile
Metaphor
Personification

Answer 1

Personification.

Step-by-step explanation:

"...until memory comes rushing over you like a wave" is the example of personification. We all know that memory does not crash and break like waves, as it is an abstract noun. And when you give it wave-like qualities, you personify it.
