FIgurative language is a writing that's not meant to be taken literally, but rather to put things into perspective.
For example, if you drop coffee on yourself, and you say that the coffee is as hot as the sun, you're using a simile, an example of figurative language, and that's not meant to be taken literally- it's an exaggeration.
Hope this helps!

The best option to the answer would be choice "D". 'Writing not meant to be interpreted literally.' 

If I used personification, (a form of figurative language), "The moon shined his bright eyes at me." That isn't true, the moon doesn't actually have eyes. The moon just shined- and maybe the craters on the moon looked like eyes. 


I hope this helped you!

Tribute to the Dog
Julli [10]

Answer:

Figurative language is one of the most important elements of any literary texts. It's like the spice and seasoning of a dish, it gives taste to it.

"A Tribute to a Dog" is a speech made by Senator George Graham Vest as his closing argument for his client's dog shot and killed by his neighbor. Some examples of the figurative language used in the text are the following:

  - He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. (Personification)

  - The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.  (Personification)

  - A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)

  - He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor)

  - He is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey to the heavens. (Simile)

These are just a few of the figurative languages used in the text, there' still more.  But these ones give more impact to the whole text. It makes it more convincing and meaningful. For sure because of this speech, his side won the case.
