Explanation:

To identify the figurative device each sentence uses, we need to understand the definitions of onomatopoeia, simile, metaphor, alliteration, hyperbole, personification, oxymoron, and allusion.

Onomatopoeia means the sound some object or living being makes. It is difficult to explain, better to show few examples, water sounds (bloop, splash...), vocal sounds (giggle, mumble, murmur...), air sounds (gasp, swoosh, whoosh, whip, whisper...), animal sounds (buzz, hiss, meow, moo, quack...).

A simile compares two different things using the words "like" or "as" to draw a comparison. Examples: He is as cute as a kitten; You are as brave as a lion.

The metaphor describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. Examples: You are my sunshine; He was a pig at dinner.

Alliteration is a literary device in which a series of words begin with the same consonant sound. Example: Seven sisters slept soundly on the sand.

Hyperbole is a literary device that uses extreme exaggeration to make a point or show emphasis. It is the opposite of understatement. Example: The train went faster than the speed of light.

Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing – an idea or an animal – is given human attributes. Example: The wind whispered through dry grass.

An oxymoron is a literary device that contains words that seem to contradict each other. It's often referred to as a contradiction in terms. Examples: Act naturally, alone together, amazingly awful, dark light, jumbo shrimp, etc.

An allusion is a figure of speech that references a person, place, thing, or event. Each of these concepts can be real or imaginary, referring to anything from fiction, to folklore, to historical events and religious manuscripts. Example: He was a Good Samaritan yesterday when he helped the lady start her car.

Keeping this in mind, we can easily identify a figurative device used in each sentence.

20. Faith is as talkative as an auctioneer - Simile. It has a comparison with the help of word 'as'.

21. Seige sells seashells by the seashore - Alliteration. All words start with the letter 'S'.

22. The trees touched the sky - Personification. The tree is given a human ability of touching.

23. The wind whooshed through the girl's hair - Onomatopoeia. We can imagine the sound wind makes with the help of word 'whooshed'.

24. Andrew is a beast on the football field - Metaphor. Andrew was compared to a beast.

25. Mrs. Roop has given us a ton of notes this year! - Hyperbole. It is an exaggeration, it is not possible to give a ton of notes.

26. The fisherman caught a jumbo shrimp - Oxymoron.

27. Marquita motioned toward Michael to move his motor home - Metaphor.

28. Olivia gets excited sometimes and talks a million miles an hour - Hyperbole. It is an exaggeration, it is not possible to talk with a speed of a million miles an hour.

29. The lazy boy's pencil yelled at him to begin working - Personification. The pencil was given a human ability to yell.

30. Science journaling sure is an easy task - Oxymoron.

31. Ben is a regular Romeo when it comes to the ladies - Allusion. Everybody knows Romeo and the features he had. Referencing to him, we get an idea of what an author wanted to tell us.
