When the bank on the other side of the draw began to throw a narrow shelf of shadow, we knew we ought to be starting homeward;

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The type of figurative language used in the passage is: imagery.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing). By using imagery, authors involve readers and help them, in their imagination, to see, hear, touch, smell or taste what is being described. In the particular passage we are analyzing here, the author is using imagery when describing the shadow thrown by the bank. By using "a narrow shelf of shadow," the author has us imagining it in a vivid manner, as if we are the character seeing that shadow.

Figurative language 'The meat sizzled and cracked as I laid in into the hot pan.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The figurative language that can be found in the sentence is onomatopoeia.

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia refers to words that represent a sound by imitating it. There are several verbs that come, originally, from imitating a sound, such as: to buzz, to clang, to click, to tinkle, to jingle, and to chime, among others. The verbs to sizzle and to crack are also examples of onomatopoeia. To sizzle mostly refers to the sound food makes while being fried, although it can also refer to the sounds that fire makes while burning. The same goes for to crack, although it can refer to a more extensive range of sounds, such as explosions, or the sound of something breaking. Therefore, we can safely say the sentence "The meat sizzled and cracked as I laid it into the hot pan" uses onomatopoeia.
