Answer:

Figurative language refers to the use of words in a way that deviates from the conventional order and meaning in order to convey a complicated meaning, colorful writing, clarity, or evocative comparison. It uses an ordinary sentence to refer to something without directly stating it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:

The violinist's hands moved faster than the wind as he played the sonnet.

"Faster than the wind" is an example of figurative language called a simile, which means it compares it to something without actually meaning it. The violinist is not actually faster than the wind, it's just an expression.
