English

antoniya [11.8K]3 years ago

Since 'altruism' means 'feelings and behavior that show a desire to help other people and a lack of selfishness', and this word 'altruistic' ends with -ic, we can assume, based on its structure, that this is an adjective that is used to describe a person who behaves in such a way.

The following sentence contains what type of figurative language?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Your answer would be that the sentence contains an example of personification.

Explanation:

Figurative language makes use of figures of speech to be more effective. What is more, figurative language includes several literary devices and techniques: simile, metaphor, oxymoron, etc.

In the passage above, the author uses personification. Personification is a figure of speech in which an idea or thing is given human feelings or attributes. That is to say, human characteristics are attributed to nonhuman things. For instance, in this case, <em>words died</em> and <em>guilty grin</em> are examples of personification. Words cannot die because they are not human and a beard does not have the volition to be guilty. However, in both cases, <em>words </em>and <em>beard</em> have been assigned these features as if they were capable of going through them just as we humans do.
