Answer:

The purpose of figurative language is <em>A. Figurative language can reveal new or unexpected meaning when words are used in nonliteral comparisons.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Figurative language</u> is a literary that alludes to something without directly stating it. To do so, this type of language uses figures of speech such as similies and metaphors -and not literal comparisons- to trascend the literal meaning of the word and provide new or unexpected meanings.
