I think you mean figure of speech but I might be wrong but I will tell you what a figure of speech is...

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that has a different meaning from its literal meaning.

for e.g. Similes, metaphors, personification, hyperbole (Exaggeration) etc are examples.

Hope this helps! <span />

Which sentence would best improve the description in the setting of a story?My grandmother used to tell me that dogs and ponies
Zielflug [23.3K]

Hello!

The answer should be the second sentence: Blowing wildly, the icy winter wind tore my woolen cap from my head, as it makes the most sense.

________________________________________________________

The setting is the time and location of a story. (Where and when it takes place).

The first sentence definitely wouldn't improve improve the description in the setting of a story, nor would the last. The third sentence includes the location (basketball game), but does not describe it.
