personification: The clouds wept.

simile: The sunset looked like pink cotton candy.

metaphor: The fan was a tornado, sending the papers flying out the window.

hyperbole: The donut holes were bigger than baseballs.

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech in which human traits or behaviors are attributed to inanimate objects. In "the clouds wept," we have an example of personification. Clouds cannot cry. They are not sentient beings with emotions. The author probably means that the raindrops falling from the clouds reminded him of tears.

Simile and metaphor are figures of speech used to compare two different things. A simile will use the words "as" or "like" to make the comparison, but a metaphor will not. "The sunset looked like pink cotton candy" is a simile that compares "sunset" to "pink cotton candy" with the help of "like". On the other hand, "the fan was a tornado" compares "fan" to "tornado", but without the help of "like" or "as".

Finally, hyperbole is a figure of speech that consists of an exaggeration to emphasize something. In "the donut holes were bigger than baseballs," we have a hyperbole. It is impossible for normal donut holes to be that big. What the author wants to do is emphasize that the holes were larger than usual.
