The excerpt from Good Country People that is an example of figurative language is D. Mrs. Hopewell had no bad qualities of her own but she was able to use other people’s in such a constructive way that she never felt the lack.

  • Figurative language refers to how writers compare things by linking words or phrases with something else in order to create meaning. There are several figurative languages such as simile, metaphor, irony, personification, hyperbole, symbolism, etc.

  • In this case, the figurative language used is irony. Irony simply means when a person says something but does something that's different. It's when there's a contrast between reality and expectation.

  • Based on the book, despite the fact that Mrs. Hopewell had no bad qualities, as she was known to be good, she influenced other people to carry out her bad acts.

In conclusion, the correct option is that Mrs. Hopewell had no bad qualities of her own but she was able to use other people’s in such a constructive way that she never felt the lack.

Name one example of when jesus forgave sinners in his public ministry
Ugo [173]
Hello there!

One example when Jesus forgave sinners in his public ministry is when He forgave and healed a paralyzed man (Matthew 9:1-8). 

The account is told in Matthew 9. Some men brought to Him a paralyzed man lying on a mat. Jesus then told the man "Take heart,<span> son; your sins are forgiven.” (Matt 9:2).

Some Jews were mumbling to themselves, saying that Jesus was blaspheming, but then He said "</span>Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?<span> " (Matt 9:5).

To demonstrate that He had authority to forgive sinners, he commanded the man to get up and walk, and the man got up and went home. The crowd was filled with awe for this great miracle and demonstration of power. 

Have a nice day!</span>
