8. I held my breath forever as I tried to swim from one side of the pool to
the other.


Alliteration
Hyperbole
Idiom
Metaphor
Onomatopoeia
Personification
Simile

Answer:

Hyperbole

Explanation:

In the sentence, we see the word "forever". Realistically, no one can hold their breath for forever. But that was an exaggeration. Hyperbole just means an exaggeration.

C. Idiom

An idiom is when something is said, but is not supposed to be taken literally. Like, "I held my breath forever..." doesn't mean that they actually held their breath forever and isn't supposed to be taken literally. Some other examples are: raining cats and dogs, he got cold feet, etc.

Hope this helps! Good luck!! :D

Combining Sentences with Adverb Clauses


Combine each pair of simple sentences into a complex sentence by changing one of the simple sentences into an adverb clause. Remember to subordinate the least important information. Also, use as many different subordinating conjunctions as possible and use both types of sentence structures: open half of the sentences with the adverb clause, and open half with the independent clause. Be sure to punctuate correctly to avoid losing points.
