Question

We all know what it is to have pain in our heart, and we all know how important it is to heal. But right now, depression is society’s deep cut that we’re content to put a Band-Aid over and pretend it’s not there.
Which options show examples of figurative language used in the excerpt? Select all that apply.

a) But right now, depression is society’s deep cut
b) we’re content to put a Band-Aid over
c) how important it is to heal
d) pretend it’s not there

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) But right now, depression is societies deep cut.

B.) We're content to put a Band-Aid over.

Explanation:

C and D are incorrect because it's not figurative. A and B, are. It's not possible to put a Band-Aid over our depression. Society doesn't have an actual deep cut.

These are both figurative language.

Hope this helped! :)
