a. writing that is meant to be imaginative and vivid rather than literal
Figurative language includes, but is not limited to: similes, metaphors, personification, symbols, imagery, hyperbole and oxymora. Figurative language is used to help readers better understand and picture the writing. For example, simply stating the fridge is cold doesn't create as vivid a picture as: The air from the fridge felt as though I had just opened the door to the North Pole. It made goosebumps appear on my arms! Option B sounds good, but in reality it is only describing sensory details and imagery which are elements of figurative language. Options C and D are just wrong.
