A light breeze blew through the garden, carrying the scent of roses. Does this sentence contain figurative language? Why or why not?​

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Figurative speech is a Non- Literal comment, For example, if an athlete is doing well, you might say they're “on fire” figuratively. If their clothes catch on fire (which hopefully doesn't happen), then they'd be on fire literally. But the question stated that had a scent of roses being carried by the wind, so its not figurative.
