<u>Answer:</u>

The definition of “figurative language” is that it is a language not meant to be taken literally. Here, the right answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The use and placement of words in a sentence which provide a meaning that is beyond the actual sense of the words used happens when you are using “figurative language.”

This style of writing helps to amplify one’s piece of literary work. It is an art of dressing up a simple or an ordinary sentence and giving it a deeper sense of understanding.

There are many parts of this style of writing but the five most commonly used are simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification and symbolism.

<u>Examples are as follows: </u>

Yelena is as brave as a lion. (Simile)

Helen is my sunshine. (Metaphor)

You drive faster than a bullet train! (Hyperbole)

The night sky is full of dancing stars. (Personification)

Mahima has a sixth sense like an owl. (Symbolism)

Which speech made a stronger use of the appeal to ethics? Write two paragraphs that compare and contrast both speeches in terms
S_A_V [24]
To begin, Brutus’s speech was formal and more directed to the Romans. In his introduction, he starts with “Romans, countrymen, and lovers!” This was used to join everyone together and later help him justify Caesar’s death. Throughout the text, he describes Caesar as an “ambitious” man. Calling Caesar ambitious makes it seem that Caesar only thought about himself. On the other hand, Antony’s speech was more personal and sarcastic. In contrary to Brutus he opens his speech with “Friends, Romans, countrymen…”. This sets up his later statements of being Caesar’s friend. Throughout his speech, he uses paralipsis and repetition to poke at Brutus but at the same time save Caesar’s reputation. Throughout Antony’s speech, he uses devices, tactics, and his sympathy to his advantage. Brutus only had one point, which was that he killed Caesar for Rome, to stand on. All in all, Antony’s speech was better and more persuasive than Brutus's.
