Answer 1

Figurative language helps a writer to **describe things in interesting and unique ways**. It enhances the imagery and emotional impact of the writing, allowing readers to visualize scenes and understand concepts through comparisons, metaphors, similes, and other devices. This creativity makes the text more engaging and memorable.

While figurative language can also assist in drawing comparisons between similar things, its primary strength lies in enriching descriptions and evoking emotions rather than providing literal explanations or clarifying event sequences straightforwardly.
