    Many writers create imagery through figurative language. Which is NOT a type of figurative language?

    • Theme

    • Similie

    • Personification

    • Metaphor

    Correct Answer
    A. Theme
    Explanation
    The question asks for a type of figurative language that is NOT included in the given options. The options provided are simile, personification, and metaphor, which are all examples of figurative language. However, "theme" is not a type of figurative language. Theme refers to the underlying message or central idea of a literary work, while figurative language involves the use of words or expressions that are not meant to be taken literally. Therefore, "theme" is the correct answer as it does not belong to the category of figurative language.

    • Vivid sensory description

    • Interesting dialogue

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Vivid sensory description
    Explanation
    Imagery refers to the use of descriptive language that creates vivid sensory experiences for the reader. It involves using words and phrases that appeal to the five senses, such as sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell, to paint a clear and detailed picture in the reader's mind. This can help to bring a story or scene to life, making it more engaging and memorable for the reader. Therefore, the correct answer is "vivid sensory description."
