To check the answers, let's go through each question and explanation:
1. Figurative language is language that..
- Words that have multiple meanings is not the correct answer because that describes words that are ambiguous or have different interpretations.
- Explains the literal meaning of words is also not correct because figurative language actually goes beyond literal meanings.
- Made up of words that contradict each other is not accurate either. Figurative language does use different elements, but not necessarily contradictory ones.
- The correct answer is "goes beyond the wordsβ literal meanings."
2. Which option describes hyperbole?
- A comparison of two unlike things without using the words like or as would be a metaphor, not hyperbole.
- Descriptions that evoke one of the five senses doesn't describe hyperbole; it may refer to sensory imagery.
- Human characteristics given to non-human things would be personification, not hyperbole.
- The correct answer is "an exaggeration so extreme that it is not meant to be taken seriously."
3. Which sentence contains an example of alliteration?
- Emery walked down the street as if the pavement were hot lava doesn't contain alliteration.
- Jared spoke in a loud voice that echoed through the woods is the correct answer as it uses the repetition of the "v" sound.
- Felix was frantic over his new schedule and forgot his homework is not an example of alliteration.
- The wind howled through the trees during the storm does not use alliteration.
- The correct answer is "Jared spoke in a loud voice that echoed through the woods."
4. Which of the following is a type of figurative language?
- Denotation is not a type of figurative language; it refers to the literal or dictionary definition of a word.
- Literal phrase refers to a phrase without any exaggeration or figurative elements.
- Connotation refers to the emotional or cultural associations attached to a word.
- The correct answer is "metaphor," which is a type of figurative language that compares two things without using "like" or "as."
5. When are similes and metaphors used?
- They are not used to show human qualities; they compare things or create vivid imagery.
- They are not specifically used to show an exaggeration; hyperbole is used for that purpose.
- They are not used to show a feeling exclusively.
- The correct answer is "They are used to show a comparison."
