A compound subject consists of two or more simple subjects joined by a conjunction such as “and” that connects the subjects.

Figurative language is used to express meaning and tone.

are you sure number 2. is right as you changed it to 'is" even as it shows "are"

You are correct to point that out. If the original sentence states that “_______________ _______________ are used to express meaning and tone,” then it does imply a plural subject, and it should maintain the “are” verb.

So, correcting it with that context in mind:

A compound subject consists of two or more simple subjects joined by a conjunction such as “and” that connects the subjects.

Literary devices are used to express meaning and tone.
