Question

Figurative language 'The meat sizzled and cracked as I laid in into the hot pan.

Answer 1

Answer:

The figurative language that can be found in the sentence is onomatopoeia.

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia refers to words that represent a sound by imitating it. There are several verbs that come, originally, from imitating a sound, such as: to buzz, to clang, to click, to tinkle, to jingle, and to chime, among others. The verbs to sizzle and to crack are also examples of onomatopoeia. To sizzle mostly refers to the sound food makes while being fried, although it can also refer to the sounds that fire makes while burning. The same goes for to crack, although it can refer to a more extensive range of sounds, such as explosions, or the sound of something breaking. Therefore, we can safely say the sentence "The meat sizzled and cracked as I laid it into the hot pan" uses onomatopoeia.
