read Nick's description of the first time he sees Daisy and Jordan below What is this excerpt most an example of

a. Figurative language .

Explanation:

Figurative language is the use of words or phrases in a certain way to make the words or description more profound and colorful. Different devices help an author in putting more color to the words used in a story.

In the given lines from "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the narrator Nick describes his cousin Daisy and her friend Jordan in such a way that they appear more 'beautiful', more 'graceful'. He stated that "their [white] dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house" which is not seemingly possible. In describing the ladies' dresses as "rippling and fluttering", Nick uses figurative language.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.

they grow and transform with their experiences, making it easier for readers to  relate to them.

this genre primarily focuses on the  daily struggles  of ordinary people, validating their experiences.
