The night sky was a blank canvas waiting to be painted by the stars. which type of figurative language is being used in the example? a. hyperbole b. metaphor c. simile d. allusion

I think the answer is B), because a metaphor is something that can't actually be done/happen. Like painting the sky.

B. Metaphor.

Explanation: a metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given sentence, we can see a clear example of a metaphor that compares the night sky with a blank canvas. The other options don't make sense because a hyperbole is an exaggeration, a simile is a comparison but using the words "like" or "as" and an allusion is a reference.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.

hope this !

f yes, , mark brainliest : )

have a good night.
