Answer:

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

Figurativelanguage is a language that uses words that deviate from their literal meaning to represent something else and give readers new insights. In order to achieve this, figurative language relies on figures of speech, such as metaphors, similes, personifications and hyperbole.

A metaphor, then, is an example of figurative language. This figure of speech directly asserts that one element is similar or equal to another element, for example: "for Antony is but a limb of Caesar" and "She's heaven."

Answer : to reveal hidden meanings

Figurative language refers to the word or words used in a sentence that carries a different meaning from its literal meaning. Making use of a literal language simply means that the author is only stating facts, nothing less and nothing more. Most of the time, figurative language uses exaggerations and even flowery words to make certain point.  Symbolism, hyperbole, simile, metaphor are some of the common examples of figurative language. It is very necessary to be able to analyze the figurative language in a text in order to find out the hidden or the real meaning of it because usually the meaning of the figurative language is different from what you thought it is.

Words:etymology:: _____literature:history
life:biology
insects:entomology
humans:anthropology

Answers

Answer:

Except for "literature: history" all other options can complete the diagram.

Explanation:

Etymology is a study of the origin and evolution of words. For this reason "words: etymology" means that "words" are studied in "etymology", so in order to complete the diagram, we need to find other words that establish this same relation.

"life: biology" establishes this relationship because biology studies life, so this option could complete the diagram.  Also could complete the diagram the sentences "insects: entomology" and "humans: anthropology", since the entomology is the science that studies the insects; and anthropology is the science that studies humanity, humans.

However, history is not the science that studies literature. For this reason the sentence "literature: history" could not complete the diagram.
