Answer check? Which of the following statements is literal and not figurative? A. His love for his wife is like an oak tree -- strong and firm. B. He loves his wife from the bottom of his heart. C. His wife is the sunshine of his life. D. He is a good and faithful husband to his wife. Got D
You are correct.
B and C is figurative, because in C, your wife can't be sunshine. The Sun is very hot and could burn you. If you look at the sun too long, you will surely go blind.
B. It says he loves his wife from the bottom of his heart. Love doesn't technically come from the "heart" Your heart isn't where you get your feelings from. That's all inside of your brain, so to speak.
It's also hard to know exactly where "Love" comes from in a person, especially in the bottom of his heart, the organ that is used to pump blood throughout your body.
Thanks.
