Question

figures of speech quick check
why do writers use figures of speech? (1 point)
to give the literal meaning of something
to explain a complex idea more clearly
to help readers understand what happens next
to create an emotional response in a reader

Explanation:

Figures of speech are used to evoke emotions. They add depth and resonance to writing. For example, metaphors or similes can make a description more vivid and stir feelings. They are not for literal meaning (that's direct description), not mainly for explaining complex ideas (though sometimes they can aid in that but it's not the core), and not for predicting what happens next (that's plot - related).

Answer:

to create an emotional response in a reader
