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!

The correct answer would be option B. The sentence that uses a predicate adjective is this: <span>The reason for his absence is quite simple to understand.

Make an argumentative essay regarding this pandemic,Have your own title.​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

With social distancing, we now separate ourselves from other parts of society. This has made me feel very much disconnected from my friends. Humans are made to be out and about and socialize with beings on Earth. These unfortunate events have led many people to be disconnected from society. This has allowed my mind to go to the dark side, where my fears come out. My main fear is “How long will my life be on pause?” I’m afraid of how long I will be stuck in the house and can’t see my friends. Will it be a couple more weeks or will it be a couple months?

At the end of the book, Nick imagines what the continent must have been like when it was first seen by dutch sailors. How does t
Mrac [35]

Answer and explanation:

At the end of the novel "The Great Gatsby", the narrator, Nick, imagines what the continent must have been like when it was first seen by Dutch sailors. In Nicks words,

<em>"... I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors' eyes--a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby's house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder."</em>

<u>The America Nick is describing here is pure, green, rich, and filled with endless possibilities. It is like the Garden of Eden before sin, so to speak. The Dutch sailors were probably breathless when facing such beauty, such potential. That image, however, contrasts greatly with the story Nick has just told readers; a story set in a sickened America, a country where being wealthy is more important than being happy or honest. Greed and lust have corrupted everything and everyone - just as they did in the Garden of Eden. Appearances are now all there is in East and West Eggs. And appearances are not even present in the Valley of Ashes, the portrait of decadence, the picture of exploitation and misery.</u>
