Question

question 2
what is a simile?
○ where non - human things are given human traits to create vivid, emotional descriptions.
○ a comparison between two unlike things using the words \like\ or \as.\
○ exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
○ directly states that one thing is another thing, without using \like\ or \as.\

Explanation:

The first question's correct option aligns with the core purpose of figurative language (e.g., metaphors, similes) to go beyond literal meaning and evoke imagery. For the second question, a simile is defined as a comparison using "like" or "as," distinguishing it from other literary devices (personification, hyperbole, metaphor).

Answer:

To create vivid images and express ideas beyond their literal meaning.
A comparison between two unlike things using the words "like" or "as."
