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 oxymoron, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, simile, etc.

Consider the following examples;
1. I am as hungry as a bear.
2. I am as tall as an iroko tree.
3. I like to sing like a hummingbird.
4. I am as anxious as a bridegroom.
