Many people enjoy listening to music.

Gentle music tiptoes across my mind.
D
Music can make you feel happy.
E

Explanation

“Music is food for the soul” is a metaphor: music is compared to food without using “like” or “as.” “Gentle music tiptoes across my mind” is personification because it gives music the human action of tiptoeing. “Listening to music feels like flying” is a simile because it compares listening to flying using “like.” The other statements describe ordinary facts or feelings literally.
