Answer:

b.) Connotation.

Explanation:

Connotation is the association of certain words and phrases used to a word evoking certain feelings aside from the literal meaning of that word. It is the implied meaning of a word in a sentence.

The sentence <em>"The singer's high notes stabbed my ears like jagged knives"</em> is an example of connotation. It implies that the singing or high note of the singer was so loud and high that it is capable of cutting the ears through with a knife. Or more simply, it is like his ears are being cut through by a knife when he heard the high note of the singing, piercing his ears. It does not show the literal meaning of the words but it implies just how painful/ shrilling the voice must have been.

r-ruslan [8.4K]
The correct option is C.
