Why do writers include figurative language in nonfiction argumentative writing? Select the three best answers.

Writers use figurative language to help readers picture an idea, make important points stand out, and create an emotional response. These purposes match “to create an image in the reader’s mind,” “to emphasize key points,” and “to draw the reader’s emotion.” Humor can sometimes be a side effect, but it is not one of the three best general purposes here.
