The answer is B. She was known for making theories and translation the Qu'ran.
The figurative language is the part where the meaning is made apparent indirectly while the literal is where what is said is meant that way.
Explanation:
Figurative Language
"Thin as a soda straw the slate pencil was
wrapped in red, white and green paper, the colors
spiraled as on a barber's pole."
<u>Here, we can see that there is a use of simile and metaphors to compare the pencil to a soda straw to show how thin it is and to show that the colors spiraled which does not happen in real. </u>

Literal Language
'The slate was set in a wooden frame decorated with
red and green stripes. In one corner there was a small
hole in the frame for the string to which the slate pencil
was tied. '
<u>This passage is informational and literal.</u>
