Question

What does figurative language do in a text? A Create conflict B changes the usual meaning of words C Uses the typical dictionary definition of words D Defines the shape of an object or being

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Figurative language comes up in things like idioms. If you say that something is a hard pill to swallow, you aren't talking about someone actually having a difficult time swallowing an actual pill. You might be talking about them hearing some news which is difficult for them to hear, or coming to grips with a flaw they struggle to admit to. Figurative language changes the typical definition of words to add emphasis, or just make it sound more interesting.
