Question

___________ is a type of figurative language where one thing replaces something that is related to it. A. S+D717imile. B. Imagery. C. Metonymy. D. Personification

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Metonymy

An example would be going to a bar and ordering beer. You're not really ordering beer because beer cannot be separated or ordered, but you're ordering a bottle of beer. In this case, the noun beer takes over the meaning of the word bottle, and they are connected.
