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>
