Answer:
The figurative language that can be found in the sentence is onomatopoeia.
Explanation:
<u>Onomatopoeia refers to words that represent a sound by imitating it. </u>There are several verbs that come, originally, from imitating a sound, such as: to buzz, to clang, to click, to tinkle, to jingle, and to chime, among others. T<u>he verbs </u><u>to sizzle </u><u>and </u><u>to crack</u><u> are also examples of onomatopoeia. </u><u>To sizzle</u><u> mostly refers to the sound food makes while being fried, although it can also refer to the sounds that fire makes while burning. The same goes for </u><u>to crack</u><u>, although it can refer to a more extensive range of sounds, such as explosions, or the sound of something breaking.</u> Therefore, we can safely say the sentence "The meat sizzled and cracked as I laid it into the hot pan" uses onomatopoeia.
Even though synonyms generally share the same meaning, they might not apply in the same context. So, if you want to use one specific word you should do that instead of trying to find a synonym that doesn't quite fit into the context you've established. An example is if you want to use the sentence "I was mad", meaning "I was angry", you could look for a synonym. One synonym is "absurd". However, this is a different type of mad, meaning crazy instead of meaning angry. "I was absurd" has an entirely different meaning than originally intended. This is why you should always double check the contextual meaning of the synonym you want to use.
