Answer:

The choice that best describes the author's use of figurative language is the author uses a simile to compare the feeling of nervousness to melting. The correct option is c.

What is simile?

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. Similes differ from metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things using comparison words such as like, as, so, or than, while metaphors create an implicit comparison i.e. saying something is something else.

This distinction is evident in the etymology of the words: simile derives from the Latin word similis similar, like, while metaphor derives from the Greek word metapherein to transfer. Like in the case of metaphors, the thing that is being compared is called the tenor, and the thing it is being compared to is called the vehicle.

Author and lexicographer Frank J. Wilstach compiled a dictionary of similes in 1916, with a second edition in 1924.

Answer 2
Answer: C. The author uses a simile to compare the feeling of nervousness to melting because the sentence uses the word "like," which is an underlying hint to similes. Without it, it would be a metaphor.
