This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the sentence from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza.

José bought us two cardboard suitcases and one for himself, and an alarm clock like the one we used to try to win in the lottery tent in Mazatlan.

Which word has a connotative meaning in the sentence?

cardboard

suitcases

alarm

tent

Answer:

The word that has a connotative meaning in the sentence is: cardboard.

Explanation:

Connotative meaning refers to a meaning other than the literal one. This connotative meaning can have its origin in social or cultural associations. In this particular case, if we were to take "cardboard" literally, we would imagine suitcases actually made from cardboard boxes. But, even though they have such a name, they aren't really made from cardboard. We can, thus, say that "cardboard" has a connotative meaning in this passage.

The following sentence contains what type of figurative language?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Your answer would be that the sentence contains an example of personification.

Explanation:

Figurative language makes use of figures of speech to be more effective. What is more, figurative language includes several literary devices and techniques: simile, metaphor, oxymoron, etc.

In the passage above, the author uses personification. Personification is a figure of speech in which an idea or thing is given human feelings or attributes. That is to say, human characteristics are attributed to nonhuman things. For instance, in this case, <em>words died</em> and <em>guilty grin</em> are examples of personification. Words cannot die because they are not human and a beard does not have the volition to be guilty. However, in both cases, <em>words </em>and <em>beard</em> have been assigned these features as if they were capable of going through them just as we humans do.
