The correct answer is A, amelioration. In linguistics pejoration is a term used to signify how a word's meaning becomes downgraded and goes from having a positive meaning to having a negative meaning. Amelioration is a reverse term, it is a phenomenon where one word over time acquires a more positive meaning, as is the case with prestige, which now has a positive connotation.

Which of the following excerpts from the poem reflects the use of figurative language? I. “The fog comes/on little cat feet.” II
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

I and III

Explanation:

Figurative language is a literary device that allows the author to express a message with non-literal and subjunctive meaning, through words and phrases that do not express their real meaning, but that require the reader's reasoning to interpret and understand them. This type of device is used to give more expression to a word or phrase and makes it more poetic and expressive. As an example we can use the phrases:

I. “The fog comes/on little cat feet.”

III. “on silent haunches/and then moves on.”
