Answer 1

Answer:

It makes the style more engaging

Explanation:

Figurative language often involves word play, symbolism, colloquialism, imagery, comparisons, and other emotion-evoking characteristics, especially when they are relatable to the reader. This use of language is unique to formal texts, which are detached or strictly informative. A use of figurative language stimulates different human senses and emotions, therefore engaging the mind and feelings of the reader.
