Question

Caption: The group of protesters who surrounded City Hall was not a fly buzzing in one's ear; instead they were a swarm of bees that demanded attention. Which type of language is used in the caption for the photo?
Literal
Figurative
Allegorical
Denotative

Answer 1

Figurative language because its not literal. If it were literal then there would really be bee's flying in their ear. But in reality the bee's were referring to something besides the bees.
