Read the passage below and answer the question. she was a beautiful baby. she blew shining bubbles of sound. she loved motion, loved light, loved colour and music and textures. she would lie on the floor in her blue overalls patting the surface so hard in ecstasy her hands and feet would blur. which figurative language technique is best represented in the quote above?

I would say that the figurative language that is best represented in this excerpt is Imagery.

Explanation:

Imagery is used to describe actions in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. It creates in the reader a visual representation of the actions that take place in the story. In this case, by describing the subject as a person that enjoys motion, light, colour, music and textures, we can make a colourful picture of the baby. We can imagine her as a happy, joyful baby. Also, the author says that "she blew shining bubbles of sound" and we can picture her as a fun, smiling baby. Everything the author says about the baby makes the reader build a better idea of her by appealing to their physical senses.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
