Answer
A
language meant to appeal to the senses

a ballad printed on one side of a large sheet of paper
C
a narrative poem put to music
D
writing not meant to be interpreted literally

Explanation

Figurative language uses words in a nonliteral way to create meaning or an effect, such as comparing something to something else. So the correct choice is “writing not meant to be interpreted literally.” Language meant to appeal to the senses is sensory imagery, not the definition of figurative language.
