Question

what is one likely reason the author uses the figurative language \she gazed at the little captive she had netted\? (1 point) the language reveals the power that the rich had over the poor. the language reveals that the rich were often fascinated with the poor. the language reveals that the poor were afraid of the rich. the language reveals that rosemary has a sinister reason for inviting the woman over.

Explanation:

The figurative language "netted" and "captive" implies a power dynamic. The first option, "The language reveals the power that the rich had over the poor," aligns with this as "netted" and "captive" suggest control, likely reflecting the rich's power over the poor. The other options: fascination is not implied by "netted/captive", fear of the poor by the rich isn't suggested, and a "sinister reason" is not directly indicated by this phrasing focused on power/control.

Answer:

A. The language reveals the power that the rich had over the poor.
