Which type of figurative language is used in this sentence from George Orwell’s novel Keep the Aspidistra Flying?

English

slavikrds [6]3 years ago

The figurative language used is a metaphor. A flashback refers to a previous event and there's no indication of Orwell referring to any previous events in this sentence. An oxymoron is when contradictory words are used in a conjunction such as faith unfaithful kept him falsely true. The word usage in this sentence isn't contradictory as it flows well in this sentence. A euphemism is a nice way to say a bothering statement. The sentence isn't any sort of bad claim, so the option of a euphemism is out of the question. A metaphor compares two things without using the words "like" or "as". In this sentence, Orwell compares advertising to the rattling of a stick inside of a swill-bucket. This makes metaphor the correct answer. Hope this helped :))

"The laughing wind skipped through the village, teasing trees until they danced with anger, as the silly dog with golfball eyes
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
"The laughing wind skipped through the village" So the the wind was harsh and loud, "Teasing trees until they danced with anger" meaning as the wind blew hard the trees as well swayed hard, and a very happy dog runs through the grass. Its using personification and extensive adjectives to turn a plain statement into something more exciting and mysterious. ((Hoped i helped a little bit))

At the circus we saw elephants, tightrope walkers, trapeze artists and ridiculous clowns.
Sergeu [11.5K]
The correct option is A.
To be objective means to present situations as they are without adding any personal opinion to the statements that are made. In the sentence given above, the word ridiculous shows the personal opinion of the speaker. Removing the word 'ridiculous' will thus makes the sentence more objective.<span />
