Answer:

B

Explanation:

Figurative language like metaphor,personification, symbol and others are used to enrich the text, poem, essay. Metaphors use human actions or feelings to other thing. So this is not to be taken literally.

<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)

Most sentences don't have that "to" in that part of the sentence or have it at all.
