Looking Out for Others: Allegory in "Aunty Misery"

Question 5 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B

Which sentence from the folktale is an example of figurative language?

Answer
A
“This is a story about an old, a very old woman who lived alone in her little hut.”
B
“A traveler stopped at the old woman’s hut and asked for permission to spend the night.”
C
“He answered her in a voice that was dry and hoarse, as if he had swallowed a desert.”
D
“Several of them shimmied up the trunk of the pear tree and immediately got stuck.”

Explanation

Choice C uses a simile: the traveler’s dry, hoarse voice is compared to having “swallowed a desert” with the words “as if.” This is figurative rather than literal language. The other sentences describe people and events directly.
