Question

Which of the following narrative techniques is used in the passage?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Figurative Language

Explanation:

The use of the words breeder and nourisher implies that she is growing and raising the "county's distempers", when in reality she is not explicitly "breeding" or "nourishing" anything. This is a use of figurative language, which means that although there are vivid details, figurative language is the best answer.

Also I took the test and got it right.

Answer 2

In the passage, the author makes use of a. Vivid details and d. Figurative language to convey an effective narrative that makes the difference from just providing information.

Through the use of figurative language, such as allusions, metaphors and simile, powerful imagery about Anne Hutchinson is conveyed upon the reader. Words such as "breeder", "nourisher", "sower" have different meanings than usual, also comparisons such as "more bold than a man" conceive singular images in the reader's mind. And all constitute vivid details that make the difference, in which they create innovative perceptions and insights.
