Answer:

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

Explanation:

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.

Examples are as follows:

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)

In her "Twenty Years ar Hull-House", Jane Addams describes her work with Ellen Starr, after she returned from the United States, after traveling several years; during that period she lived the poverty and suffering of needy people. During that period she also spent two years in London.

As we said at the beginning of the first paragraph, she and Ellen Starr founded Hull-House in the slums of Chicago, in January, 1889. The search for the ideal location was time consuming, and Hull-House was named after the home owner.

The rest of the book describes the activities of Addams and the people who lived at Hull-House and depended on it.

Choose the part of each sentence that is a dependent clause.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

A. when their ship docked

Explanation:

A dependent clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb. However, it cannot stand alone as it does not express a complete thought. B expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence, so we can eliminate that as a possible answer. Although C can seem like a possible answer, A is a better choice because it features the dependent marker "when".
