Justice Casey · Answer 1

"My day at school was a marathon and a triathlon combined." is the correct sentence that uses language figuratively.

Baylee Schneider · Answer 2

The sentence that uses figurative language is "My day at school was a marathon and a triathlon combined." because this person's school day was obviously not a marathon/triathlon, but they use this to emphasize how tiring the day was.
