Explanation:
Take, for instance, the description of "an American" friend who has provided the speaker with information about preparing humans for consumption. This gives us a general idea, though within a comical context, of the reputation "Americans" still had in the early eighteenth century for being uncivilized, veritable "savages." But it's hyperbolic. (Hopefully Swift knew that Americans were not really like this, even at that time.)

Answer:
B. idioms
Explanation:
<u>Idioms are phrases or expressions that say one thing but are in fact conveying a different meaning which is previously culturally established. </u>
If one tries to understand them literally, they won’t have much sense. Yet, those who know language proficiently will understand the meaning of these phases in a metaphoric sense accepted in the common language and the symbolic matter.
<u>Some of the examples can be:</u>
- <u>when the pigs fly</u> – this means something will never happen, as pigs do not fly
- <u>piece of cake</u> – means something is very easily achieved and accomplished with little effort.
- <u>to pull someone’s leg </u>– idiom meaning to joke with someone, to make them believe in something which is not true, but in a playful way. \
- <u>to break the ice</u> – meaning to do something first and make others at ease, to relieve the tension.
Thoreau, an important Transcendentalist, believes that people need to live an honest life. This can be applied to McCandless because he lived a few years of his life with nearly nothing. He disposed of all of his possessions because he simply thought they were unimportant in life.

Answer: C
Explanation:
this one is mostly just narrowing down the answers! You don’t want a vague and close-ended question, that’s the opposite of what you want! clarification is something you want in an answer, not a question. So that leaves answer C
FIgurative language is a writing that's not meant to be taken literally, but rather to put things into perspective.
For example, if you drop coffee on yourself, and you say that the coffee is as hot as the sun, you're using a simile, an example of figurative language, and that's not meant to be taken literally- it's an exaggeration.
Hope this helps!
