Question

Which among the following statements is true?

  1. Poetry resembles human speech.
  2. Prose uses figurative language.
  3. None of the above

hintHint:

Figurative language is a way of expressing oneself that does not use a word’s strict or realistic meaning.

The correct answer is: None of the above


    Poetry uses many literary devices to express thoughts and feelings, which do not resemble human speech, so option a is eliminated. Prose is a form of creative writing which does use figurative language to make reading more interesting- thus option b is the correct answer.
