Question 1 • 670201 World History S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which phrase from the text best shows Mary Wollstonecraft’s use of figurative language?

Answer
A
“the remote annals of antiquity”
B
“the history of woman”
C
“she has always been either a slave, or a despot”
D
“each of these situations equally retards the progress of reason”

Explanation

“She has always been either a slave, or a despot” uses figurative language by comparing women’s positions to being a slave or a ruler with absolute power. The comparison is not necessarily literal; it emphasizes the extremes of women’s lack of freedom or power. The other phrases are more straightforward descriptions.
