Answer:

The correct answer here is A)

The author uses strong adjectives and figurative language.

Explanation:

Adjectives are words used to characterise, explain or modify nouns or pronouns.

In the sentence above, stubborn, blazed-up and resistant function both as adjectives and as figurative expressions.

Adjectives because the author uses them to qualify Edna's will.

Figurative because, they suggest another form of meaning which in this context, of course, are used to project the strength and resilience of Edna's will.

Another example of the use of a figurative language is:

You are my diamond.

Cheers!

Must be 5 sentences ...<br><br>is it acceptable for a vexed person to kill? ​
Sauron [17]
In my opinion, no. If it was okay, the human population wouldn’t be so big for one. Also it’s not right. Yes people will test the limits, but that doesn’t give someone the right to end another’s life for it.
