I don't know if you want me to just label them or tell what they actually mean so ill do both (Nvm they are all figurative). Please award best answer if it helps.
1. He turned off the engine.
2. He drove past the street lights, turned on his headlights, and the area was lit up. (unsure on the moon part)
3. You are experienced.
4. It was windy and smelt bad. (Im not sure how your teacher wants these answered. An example would be helpful next time.)
5. He noticed that she was moving side to side. (Unsure on this one too might be talking about wind)
6. He was afraid of her and wanted to avoid her. (Unsure on this one too might be talking about wind)
7. He was nervous.
So I think this might be one entire story not separate quotes and I'm not sure that the "her" actually refers to a person and isn't just him just talking about the wind.
Hope this was helpful
