Answer:
Referring to the dictionary defenition of a word
Explanation:
This is because the author is using the word in a literal meaning and not in an expressional meaning like a poet does.
Example. The Main Character cannot break through the wall, Its pretty tough.
This is literal. The word " tough " is being used in its dictionary meaning since it means Hard.
Meanwhile a poet might use this as an expression of something else like
" He was heartbroken, the woman he loved had shattered his soul and it was a tough experience for him "
Tough is used as an emotional feeling of being broken down instead of its dictionary counterpart.
Hope it helped, sorry if Im wrong.
