Cevap

"The lonely shadows danced across the bedroom floor" matches Personification; "The fortress of his mind resisted all temptation" matches Metaphor; "The sweet sorrow of parting left them in tears" matches Oxymoron; "The warrior stood as solid as a mountain peak" matches Simile.
Each excerpt correctly corresponds to its defining figure of speech: the attribution of human actions to shadows represents personification; the direct identification of the mind as a fortress represents a metaphor; the adjacent placement of contradictory terms ('sweet sorrow') represents an oxymoron; and the explicit comparison using 'as... as' represents a simile.
