The following sentence contains what type of figurative language?

English
1 answer:
marishachu [46]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Your answer would be that the sentence contains an example of personification.

Explanation:

Figurative language makes use of figures of speech to be more effective. What is more, figurative language includes several literary devices and techniques: simile, metaphor, oxymoron, etc.

In the passage above, the author uses personification. Personification is a figure of speech in which an idea or thing is given human feelings or attributes. That is to say, human characteristics are attributed to nonhuman things. For instance, in this case, <em>words died</em> and <em>guilty grin</em> are examples of personification. Words cannot die because they are not human and a beard does not have the volition to be guilty. However, in both cases, <em>words </em>and <em>beard</em> have been assigned these features as if they were capable of going through them just as we humans do.

When we read about prehistoric people, most of it is about cave men. There isn’t much about cave women. Most of us think of preh
nalin [4]
The main idea of the paragraph is that women should be credited for much more during the prehistoric times that they are at the moment. We only get the picture of them being rather irrelevant at the time which is obviously not true, based on this excerpt. The paragraph is quite feminist, meaning that it is shedding light on actual history and the role of women in such a society which not much is spoken about in contemporary analyses. 
They were the ones who invented gardening, as well as pottery and weaving. The reason why they did this was because they often stayed 'at home' taking care of children, so they had time to do other things as well, while men were out hunting and providing for the family in other ways. Thus we have solid proof that women were far more creative and responsible for various things than they are credited for now.
