What types of figurative language are used here: Then, as if the Dread Day of Doom
and Disaster had come
to Camillo Junior High, I heard, "Hey, Hoodhood!"
O alliteration and metaphor
simile and hyperbole
O metaphor and personification
alliteration and simile

Answer :

In the given passage, the types of figurative language used are:

1. Alliteration: Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words. For example, in the phrase "Dread Day of Doom," the repetition of the "D" sound in "Dread" and "Doom" is an example of alliteration.

2. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that implies a comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as." In this case, the phrase "as if the Dread Day of Doom and Disaster had come to Camillo Junior High" is a metaphor comparing a dreadful event to the atmosphere at the school.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
- O alliteration and metaphor
