Figurative language is when you utilise non-literal words or phrases to give your writing or speech more depth. Similes and metaphors are examples of figures of speech in this regard.

Conversely, figurative language is more intricate. This departs from the usual meaning, and via the use of rhetorical techniques like metaphors, analogies, or similes.

It heightens or enriches the meaning of the term by linking, comparing, or equating it with meanings that are unrelated to its original meaning. Emotion can in fact play a significant role in the figurative language, since this tends to be a hermeneutic exercise with a subjective component.

Therefore, the correct option is D: It shows how nervous Hà feels about her first day in class.

GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

What is the main point of the descriptive details at the beginning of the second paragraph?

To place the reader in the moment of the first landing
To describe what the colonists were up against
To create a sense of fear and anxiety
To end the journey on a hopeful note

At this moment one of the little boys, Tommy, looks up to listen to a sound of a tremendous screeching roar from overhead. A flash of light plays on both their faces and then it moves down the street past lawns and porches and rooftops and then disappears.

I just wanted to say this but it doesn´t mean that you have to like it
Why do people have to be awful to one other because of their Races or their gender or the fact that their part of the LGBTQ community
or they have to be ashamed of themselves because of what they are and what they like when their family members don´t support them.
