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 :))

This is an example of D. irony.
Irony is when you say something which is actually the opposite of what you think, in order to make a funny statement. So, this person said the doctor was unusually prompt (which means punctual, someone who always arrives on time), even though he was half an hour late.  <span />

1.)Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this story.
Yuri [45]

The correct answer is C: He is able to show the banker's worries about his possible defeat by the lawyer.

The tale is told using the third person limited point of view. This means that we have a narrator that is external to the action of the story, but who follows it from the perspective of one of the characters alone.

The use of the third-person limited point of view allows Chekhov to share with the readers the banker's reasons for wishing to kill the lawyer.
