What type of figurative language is commonly found in literature?

  1. Similes

  2. Rhyme

  3. Imagery

  4. Metaphors

The correct answer is: Metaphors

Metaphors are commonly used in literature to create deeper meaning and imagery by comparing two unlike things. Similes are similar, but use "like" or "as" to make the comparison. Rhyme refers to words that have the same ending sound. Imagery is used to create a vivid image through descriptive language. While all of these may appear in literature, metaphors are specifically used for figurative language.
