How does the italicized example of figurative language above most clearly contribute to the meaning of the poem? The italicized example is "SHINES LIKE THE SUN" A. The simile establishes that the apple is hot and mushy from sitting on the counter. B. The hyperbole establishes that the apple's peel is too bright and shiny C. The hyperbole establishes that the speaker is tempted by the apple, D. The simile establishes that the apple is attractive and tempting to the speaker.

Even though we do not have the poem or an excerpt, we can still answer this question based on the type figurative language provided.

The italicized example of figurative language contributes to the meaning of the poem because:

D. The simile establishes that the apple is attractive and tempting to the speaker.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express an idea, a feeling, an action etc. Example: I've told you about this a million times.

A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like".

We can see that "shines like the sun" does not fit the description of a hyperbole, but it does fit the description of a simile. Therefore, we can eliminate options B and C.

Between options A and D, the best one seems to be the last. "Shines like the sun" on its own does not convey a bad idea, such as something being mushy. It makes us think of something being really, strongly bright or shiny - to the point of being compared to the sun. That is why letter D is the best option.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
