Explanation:
Figurative language: Hyperbole
1. Sam was so hungry, he could eat a whole building!
Hyperbole is the exaggeration of a statement to make a point clear. It usually contains humor, which makes it easier for the reader to understand the point by imagining a situation that is funny and even a little ridiculous.
Positive connotation
2. The relaxed worker decided it was time to rest and enjoy the sun.
A positive connotation refers to a positive association that uses a word that makes the reader feel something good instead of reading words that immediately make us thing of a negative adjective.
For example, the opposive of this positive connotation -negative connotation- would be:
The lazy worker decided it was time to rest and enjoy the sun.
Although relaxed and lazy could have similar meanings, they have different connotations. Relaxed makes us think of a person who is enjoying the moment, while lazy makes us imagine a person who doesn't want to work.
