Answer:

The sentence which uses figurative language to make its point is:

If all of the stories were strung together, they would form a chain as long as the highway  on which the Dust Bowl migrants traveled.

Explanation:

Figurative language consists in using words in a way that gives them meanings beyond the one(s) they originally and literally have. The purpose is to convey a message, an opinion, a feeling, etc. in a more colorful, touching, or persuasive manner. Examples of figurative language are: metaphors, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, simile, etc.

<u>In the sentence we are analyzing here, the author uses figurative language by comparing the stories to a long chain. The purpose is to vividly represent how large the number of stories is. Of course, it is literally impossible to string stories together, but that is precisely what figurative language does. It creates a mental image that is often fantastic, but that efficiently conveys a sensation or idea.</u>

nadezda [96]

What evidence from the text best supports the theme that the roles of women are defined by society?

"You have loved me as a wife ought to love her husband. Only you had not sufficient knowledge to judge of the means you used."

"But do you suppose you are any the less dear to me, because you don't understand how to act on your own responsibility?"

"I will advise you and direct you. I should not be a man if this womanly helplessness did not just give you a double attractiveness in my eyes."

"You must not think anymore about the hard things I said in my first moment of consternation, when I thought everything was going to overwhelm me."

Answer:

"I will advise you and direct you. I should not be a man if this womanly helplessness did not just give you a double attractiveness in my eyes."
