Answer:

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

Explanation:

Figurative language 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.

Impotent

mafiozo [28]

Loren, the new manager, is the antithesis of compassion; just yesterday, she fired two people because they were late to work once this week. Corporate headquarters, upset with declining sales, appointed Loren to replace a[n] impotent manager who had been spotted on the golf course during work hours one-too-many times. Loren's many changes and emendation(s) to company guidelines caused a[n] maelstrom in both the warehouse and the salesroom. Employees faced evaluations and new instructions that drove many to resign; however, it was part of Loren's plan. The people who quit, she reasoned, were just impediment to meeting the expected monthly profit margin. Loren spent the first two weeks familiarizing herself with the labyrinth of shelves and palettes in the warehouse. Shreds of textiles littered parts of the packaging area; some were hefty snippets of wool, and others were diaphanous scraps of silk that hovered in the gust created by passing forklifts. She occasionally stopped to introduce herself to the workers, but she ceased her introductions after noticing the regular look of chagrin on workers' faces as they scrambled to look busy or stumbled over the proper responses to her questions. After the first round of resignations-and, firings, most of the workers were intimidated by Loren's bestial management techniques.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!
