Answer:

Figurative language is used when words do not use their literal meaning, which means figurative language is usually recognizable but not explicit. I do not understand the "why" part of this question but above is a loose definition which hopefully answers your question.

Examples:

Metaphors directly compare two things without using 'like' or 'as' -

metaphor: she is a shining star.

Similes are comparisons that do use 'like' or 'as' -

simile: her eyes sparkled like diamonds.

Personification: describing an inanimate object with human-like characteristics - the stars danced playfully in the clear night sky.

etc, etc. If you need more examples, other types of figurative language are symbolism and hyperbole, too. Hope this helps you!

Answer: А . An Informed opinion

Explanation:

An informed opinion is one that is derived from facts and so has the evidence to back it up.

The best hitter in a team is one that leads in several categories including batting average, runs scored and runs batted in. David Wright led the Mets in all these categories so saying that he was the best hitter on the team was an opinion backed by fact thereby making it an informed opinion.

ivann1987 [24]

A. the external conflict of character versus character

B. the internal conflict of character versus self

C. the external conflict of character versus nature

D. the external conflict of character versus society

the external conflict of character versus character

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The call of the wild has been written by Jack London. It mostly talks about the nature, the environment who is appealing to the human beings.

This shows the emotions which are shown by the nature to the human beings and since the environment is totally pure and clean in itself, the type of emotions which are shown by the nature are very raw and not at all made up in itself.
