Which of these sentences from the passage contains an example of figurative language? a) he knew some salsa would add kick. b) the recipe had appeared in a simpler form. c) levi grated lemon zest into the whipped cream cheese. d) levi placed a miniature pastry before each family member.

The answer is indeed letter A) He knew some salsa would add kick.

Explanation:

We are looking for a sentence that presents figurative language. When an author uses figurative language, he/she employs words in a different way, by giving them meanings that are not the literal and obvious meanings they carry. There are many devices to use figurative language, the most common beings metaphors, similes, hyperboles etc.

From the sentences that we can choose, the very first one uses figurative language when it employs the word "kick" with a meaning that is not its orginal one. Kick, be it as a verb or as a noun, usually describes the action of hitting something with your foot. But, by saying that salsa would add a kick to the dish, the author means salsa would give it more of a strong flavor. Therefore, because kick was not used in its original sense, I believe letter A to be the best choice.

went is the final answer! : )

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.
