Figurative meaning involves which two traits? You better be right or else I am taking away your points! LOL

  I don't know if your question contained options since they were not provided, but I will still answer you. It is difficult to give only two traits to figurative meaning since there are more, but two of the most important are that it is used to express one idea in terms of another, and that it usually appeals to a similarity.

Explanation:

Figurative language is one by which a word expresses one idea in terms of another, appealing to a similarity that can be real or imaginary. Figurative language is opposed to literal language, which assumes that words have the meaning that defines their exact meaning.

It suggests meanings and it is the listener or reader who must find the new referent. It can also be used to add color to writing, clarity, or to convey complicated meaning.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

i'm thinking it would be when compound subjects are joined by or, nor,either-or, neither-nor.
