<span>iambic pentameter

This line is in iambic pentameter because it has ten syllables that alternate unstressed then stressed.

 u        /       u         /         u         /         u      /      u       /
</span><span>To | swell | the | gourd,| and | plump | the | ha | zel | shells
  1      2       3        4         5         6        7      8     9      10

When trying to identify meter and rhythm, start with two syllable words-this will help identify where some stresses sit in the line.</span>

Which excerpt from “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” contains an example of figurative language?
Maksim231197 [3]

The correct answer is A.


The statement "She was ravenous for a son-in-law" contains figurative language. The specific type of figurative language used here is hyperbole.


Hyperbole is a form of figurative laungage that uses extreme exaggeration. Here, the statement implies that she is very, very hungry for a son-in-law. This is a greatly exaggerated way of saying that she really wants a son-in-law. By using figurative language, the author makes clear how greatly she desires a son-in-law.
