In which of the following does the author use figurative language to reach his or her
audience?
"the writer's job is to find the argument, the approach, the angle, the wording
that will take the reader with him. this is seldom easy, and it is particularly hard
in subjects that have been much discussed: college football, fraternities,
popular music, is chivalry dead? , and the like."
"this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of
negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came
as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
but one hundred years later, the negro still is not free. one hundred years
later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation
and the chains of discrimination."
"in the corner next to the toilet was the sink at which we washed, and the
square tub in which my mother did our clothes. above it, tacked to the shelf on
which were pleasantly ranged square, blue-bordered white sugar and spice jars,
hung calendars from the public national bank on pitkin avenue and the
minsker progressive branch of the workmen's circle; receipts for the payment
of insurance premiums, and household bills on a spindle; two little boxes
engraved with hebrew letters. one of these was for the poor, the other to buy
back the land of israel."
"to begin with its whole architecture and fittings are uncompromisingly
victorian. it has no glass-topped tables or other modern miseries, and, on the
other hand, no sham roof-beams, ingle-nooks or plastic panels masquerading as
oak. the grained woodwork, the ornamental mirrors behind the bar, the cast-
iron fireplaces, the florid ceiling stained dark yellow by tobacco-smoke, the
stuffed bull's head over the mantelpiece -everything has the solid, comfortable
ugliness of the nineteenth century."
