The correct answers are as follows:

1. Ice cream so fresh it’s like eating fruit.---> Simile

A simile refers to a rhetoric device or literary technique that compares or likens two or more unrelated topics using the words, "like" or "as". In this instance, by comparing the freshness the of the ice cream with the freshness associated with eating fruit, the advertiser uses a rhetoric technique to make the ice cream more appealing to people.

2.  This kitty litter will make your kitty pu.---> Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia refers to a rhetoric technique in which an author uses words that phonetically match with the sound they are describing. In this instance,  the advertiser claims that the cat litter "...will make your cat pu". A purr, or purring is a vibrational sound that cats make when  they are content. The advertiser makes use of onomatopoeia in this instance because the word  "pu" phonetically matches the actual sound of a cat's purr.

3. Bouncy balls for bonny babies.---> Alliteration

Alliteration refers to a figure of speech where the writer uses two or more consecutive words in a line or sentence that begin with the same letter. In this instance, where the tagline says, "Bouncy balls for bonny babies", the advertiser is using alliteration because four words in the line begin with the same letter, b, representing the sound, /b/. Alliteration as a rhetorical technique enables advertisers or writers to create impactful statements.

4. These headphones are the future of listening.---> Hyperbole

Hyperbole refers to a rhetoric device, wherein, an advertiser uses exaggeration or overstatement to create an impactful and dramatic effect. The statement, "These headphones are the future of listening" is clearly an exaggeration or hyperbole, since it is not plausible for a pair of headphones to make other methods of listening to music or television obsolete.
