What is the main effect of the authors use of figurative language

English
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]3 years ago

Using figurative language is an effective way of communicating an idea that is not easily understood because of its abstract nature or complexity. Although figurative language does not offer a literal explanation, it can be used to compare one idea to a second idea to make the first idea easier to visualise.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The best way to revise the sentence is:

D. To raise money for uniforms, members of the volleyball team will hold a car wash on Saturday.

Explanation:

<u>The original sentence is not really defective, it is only missing a piece of information concerning when the car wash will be held. The best way to add it is to include it at the end of the sentence, as is done in letter D. To raise money for uniforms, members of the volleyball team will hold a car wash on Saturday.</u>

Let's take a look at the other options to understand why they are not usable.

Letter A does begin with the subject of the sentence, but interrupts it with extra information, preventing the sentence from being a direct one. It sounds really confusing. Letter B adds the "on Saturday" information at a strange place, also interrupting the direct flow of the sentence. Letter C puts the "on Saturday" information right at the beginning. It's not that this can't be done. But, in this case, a comma should be added after it. Nevertheless, it makes the introduction of the sentence too long, which is not a good thing.
