Answer: D) figurative language.

Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It can be expressed through metaphors, similes, personifications, allusions, etc. In the given passage, James Baldwin is most clearly using figurative language as a rhetorical device, because the way he describes the consequences of slapping a child in anger, is not meant to be taken literally.

Drivers ED:When you back your vehicle, you should
shepuryov [24]

<u>Answer</u>:

When you back your vehicle, you should C: Back slowly; your vehicle is much harder to steer while you are backing.

<u>Explanation</u>:

One must be very careful while driving and follow all the rules. Special instructions must be followed while backing the car. It is more difficult to control the steering of the vehicle and balancing the car while backing it. Reverse is a more powerful gear than the driving gears.

So, option C is correct which says that “Back slowly; your vehicle is much harder to steer while you are backing”. Option A is incorrect as it mentions that back quickly. Option B is also wrong as it says that back at the same speed as we move forward.
