Answer:

A) epic simile

Explanation:

An epic simile is a figurative language that compares one element to another (thing, animal or person) while employing the words "as" or "like" and that is developed over several lines of verse. Its aim is to make the writing more colorful and interesting and serve as decoration.

The passage is an example of epic simile because it describes Athena through several verse lines by comparing it to "a bird in soaring flight", and employing a simile because it uses the word "like" to compare.

Figurative meaning involves which two traits? You better be right or else I am taking away your points! LOL
Maru [420]

Answer:

  I don't know if your question contained options since they were not provided, but I will still answer you. It is difficult to give only two traits to figurative meaning since there are more, but two of the most important are that it<u> is used to express one idea in terms of another, and that it usually appeals to a similarity.</u>

Explanation:

Figurative language is one by which a word expresses one idea in terms of another, appealing to a similarity that can be real or imaginary. Figurative language is opposed to literal language, which assumes that words have the meaning that defines their exact meaning.

It suggests meanings and it is the listener or reader who must find the new referent. It can also be used to add color to writing, clarity, or to convey complicated meaning.
