I always like to think of figurative meaning as deeper meaning: what is the narrator really trying to get the reader to understand? Once you have your answer, think about the key words in that excerpt that helped you uncover the figurative meaning-- these will always be figurative devices, so you're already half way through this question. (pro tip: stick to the text to uncover it-- don't stray to far from the information you are being provided)
Lastly, you're being asked to identify literary devices here, do you notice any symbols? Something that usually stands for something else that might relate to that deeper/figurative meaning? Also, think about how the way in which the author phrased these symbols impacted the overall deeper meaning.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
The answer is option B or "due to Robert's failure to follow his own destiny, his life ends in a tragedy." All options given in this question have a formal more professional style of saying Robert failed to follow his own destiny and because of not doing so he died in a very tragic way but it's the objective tone that separates the correct answer from the rest. Objective means to say the truth and not show any emotions toward that truth and you aren't being influenced by any personal feelings. Option B is a objective tone because it's giving the facts with no remorse and it has no personal feelings or sympathy involved.
Hope this helps.
