I have been fine...until these two questions!
What is the language feature used in the expression 'give it his best shot' ?
and
Identify the language feature used in the expressions "rugby team of 2005 tamed a pride of Lions (rugby team)' and 'stalking tiger' (referring to Tiger Woods) ?
I would be grateful for any help. Thanks

Both sentences use metaphor. The first encourages someone to do his best, but refers to archery or rifle shooting in "best shot."
The second sentence compares a rugby team to a group of wild lions when the writer says they were "tamed", and he also compares Tiger Woods to the jungle cat in a metaphor.

There consonance in the first sentence with the repeated 't' sounds. Also sibilance with the repeated 's' sounds.
In the second there is alliteration with "team", "2005", "tamed", "tiger"
