The best answer for this question would be:

 

someone who is loved and trusted

 

This connotation was “someone who is loved and trusted” because the person who stated the line “The boy calls you father” implying that there is a possibility that they are no related by blood; adding to that he may call “father” for respect.

There are 12 signs of figurative language. Please help I will give you a thanks
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

1. Onomatopoeia → The egg cracked open on the edge of the forest green dish, and the contents <u><em>sizzled</em></u> when they hit the red-hot pan.

2. Alliteration → George wanted to show Bonnie how much he loved her with breakfast in bed on her birthday.

3. Simile → He slid the spatula under the pancake on the other burner and flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.

4. Personification → Shortly after, the bagel jumped up out of the toaster,...

5. Oxymoron → The sweet bitter cranberry juice poured into a glass was final touch.,

6. Metaphor →  George was no chef, but he thought it looked awfully good.

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia is known to be the formation of a word by using a sound that is associated with what it is named. e.g sizzled

Alliteration is the use of the same letter to begin words in a sentence. In this paragraph, we see alliteration used in: Bonnie...breakfast...bed...birthday

Oxymoron is known to be a figure of speech which seems contradictory e.g bitter sweet.

Personification is the figure of speech where human characteristics are given to inanimate object. e.g the bagel jumped.

Simile has to do with the comparison of two things using <em>as</em> or <em>like. </em><em>e.g:</em><em> ...</em>flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.

Metaphor is a figure of speech which compares two things in an indirect way without the use of <em>as</em> or<em> like</em>. e.g: George was no chef,...

Korolek [52]
