When language is nonliteral

English
1 answer:
yanalaym [24]3 years ago
6 0

We call literal language when we say exactly what we mean, when the words selected convey a meaning by themselves, there is no need for context, for further explanation or revision of intonation, inflection or body language or gestures or other non-verbal component.

In literal language you say exactly what the words you selected were intended to mean from the moments they were created.

On the other hand, Non-literal language contains a lot of hidden connotations, it has double sense, between the lines meaning and we usually need the right context to understand it.

To answer this question, when language is  non literal:

C. You must use inference skills to determine the meaning

PART A: How does the author create irony in the text? Wealthy Teen Nearly Experiences Consequences
MrRa [10]

Answer:

C. The author relies on the reader's expectation that the wealthy teen would be the villain of the story and flips this expectation, making him the regretful protagonist, to create irony.

Explanation:

Irony is the expression of ideas in words that are the opposite of what is meant. To achieve this, The Onion Staff, refrained from using words that paint the wealthy teen to be what he truly was, the villain in the story who drove under the influence of alcohol thus endangering the lives of others.

He was rather painted as the protagonist who was unjustly arrested by the police and denied his luxuries for some time. The effect of this irony was humor that made mockery of Charles Wentworth's misbehaviors.
