Question

which sentence uses literal language?
○ i am a zombie in the morning before i drink my coffee.
○ the moon completely blocked out the sun during the eclipse.
○ after we changed the battery, the car roared back to life.
○ the astronomy project is a pain in my neck

Explanation:

Literal language means using words in their actual, dictionary - defined meanings without figurative or metaphorical usage.

• The first option "I am a zombie in the morning before I drink my coffee" uses a metaphor (comparing oneself to a zombie) which is figurative.
• The second option "The moon completely blocked out the sun during the eclipse" describes a real - world event (a solar eclipse) in a straightforward, non - figurative way.
• The third option "After we changed the battery, the car roared back to life" uses personification (giving the car the human - like action of "roaring back to life") which is figurative.
• The fourth option "The astronomy project is a pain in my neck" uses an idiom ("pain in my neck" to mean something annoying) which is figurative.

Answer:

The moon completely blocked out the sun during the eclipse.
