Underline four weak verbs and choose four strong ones. HELPPPPP
When my favorite restaurant introduced a new dessert, I absolutely could not resist. I slid my sneakers on and ran down the road to be first in line. I noticed another friend of mine walking toward the restaurant as well. When we saw each other, we both laughed because we knew we were both on our way to eat the new creation.

Strong verbs - slid, ran, saw, knew

Weak verbs - introduced, noticed, walking, laughed

Explanation:

Weak verbs are verbs that require us to add an ending to their root to indicate person, number, tense, and mood. In the past simple tense, these verbs will have an ending -ed or -d.

Unlike them, strong verbs don't require these endings. Instead, in the past simple tense, the vowel their root contains changes.

Based on this information, we can conclude that examples of strong verbs are slid (from to slide), ran (to run), saw (to see), and knew (to know). Examples of weak verbs are introduced (to introduce), noticed (to notice), walking (to walking), and laughed (to laugh).

I'm gonna say that the figurative language being used here is going to be the use of a simile as, when the sentence says, "I tried to finish the meal, but the burned meat was as tough leather"  Hope that answers your question.
