The correct answer is C. Figurative language

Explanation:

In language, words can be used according to their literal or denotative meaning which refers to the meaning of the dictionary or the meaning agreed by the speakers of a language or used according to their non-literal meaning which is called figurative language. Figurative language is about relating words to other meanings different to their literal or denotative meaning, this is the case of most figures of speech including simile, personification, allusion, symbolism, alliteration, and metaphor in which words are linked to non-conventional meanings to create abstract and more complex meanings that go beyond the literal meaning of words. Considering this, it can be concluded the use of words outside their usual or literal meaning is called figurative language.

 Why does exchanging names seem so important when you first<br> meet someone?
skelet666 [1.2K]
Name is a form of identifier of a person and it's easier for our brains to remember "This was John" than "This was that tall guy with dark hair and blue eyes". The other reason is that it's usually kind to exchange names when one has a chat with someone else.
