Answer:

A. The pen is mightier than the sword.

Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, metonymy, etc.

Metonymy was derived from the Greek word "metōnymía" which simply means change of name. It can be defined as a figurative language in which an object, thing, concept, or idea is referred to by the name of another that is closely related or associated with it. Thus, it involves substituting an object, thing, concept, or idea with a linked term having a close association.

A common example of metonymy is the pen is mightier than the sword.

Sati [7]

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.

I hope this helps you.
