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.
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.
