Explanation:

I have been able to successfully match the figurative terms to their examples.

Simile is a figurative term which uses "as" and "like" to compare things. Metaphor is a figure of speech which actually explains or describes something in a way that is not literally true but actually helps to make a comparison.

Hyperbole is a figure of speech which tends to exaggerate and overemphasize something in order to get noticed. It is usually used to overly stress something. Just like this example: "He ran for an eternity"

Personification is a figure of speech which attributes human qualities to a thing, idea or an animal. Just like the above example on personification; attributing the world to a person that can wait. While allusion is used to directly or indirectly refer an object or situation.
