“Fifteen years ago I came here with Lily,” he thought. “We sat somewhere over there by a lake and I begged her to marry me all through the hot afternoon. How the dragonfly kept circling round us: how clearly I see the dragonfly and her shoe with the square silver buckle at the toe. All the time I spoke I saw her shoe and when it moved impatiently I knew without looking up what she was going to say: the whole of her seemed to be in her shoe. And my love, my desire, were in the dragonfly; for some reason I thought that if it settled there, on that leaf, she would say ‘Yes’ at once. But the dragonfly went round and round: it never settled anywhere — of course not, happily not, or I shouldn’t be walking here with Eleanor and the children.”

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Figurative language is a way to be more interesting, persuasive, and effective for your readers. It creates a more creative tone of your writing. It makes an ordinary sentence to refer to some idea without directly stating it. Figurative language consists of many literary devices and techniques: simile, metaphor, personification, imagery, symbolism, hyperbole, oxymoron, etc. - So the correct option is C.

2. On the other hand, there is a literal language. It means exactly what it says. It doesn't use a comparison or any other types of figurative language (simile, metaphors, etc). The option B uses a simile, option C uses the idiom, option D uses a metaphor. - So the correct option is A. It directly states what it means.

3. The tone of this excerpt is nostalgic. We can infer it because the character is reflexing on the event that happened in the past. He remembers this event and feels sad. He is excessively sentimental yearning for a return to that past period. - So the correct option is B.

4. The evidence should appear in the body paragraphs, they have to support the topic sentences to prove your point. Evidence serves as proof of your statement. You should not place them in the introduction paragraph, as there you begin your essay, and state your thesis. Evidence can't be in the work-cited pages; there you write only the sources of your essay. Evidence can't be in the conclusion paragraph, as there you summarize everything you analyzed and make a conclusion based on the evidences from the body paragraphs. - So the correct option is A.

I hope it helped you :)
