Read the sentence from “fish cheeks.”

she was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns.

the description in this sentence

uses precise language to describe what tan saw.

contains a detail that appeals to the sense of taste.

uses figurative language to describe the prawns.

contains a simile that compares prawns to flesh.

I would contend that the right answer is actually the B) Contains a detail that appeals to the sense of taste.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this line the author is using imagery, with the goal of appealing to the reader's physical senses and creating a specific image in his or her mind. This is a very graphic description of food. It is almost impossible not to picture the fleshy and salty prawns with their black, slippery, and annoying thin veins being removed by Tan's mother. Tan was somehow embarrased of the food that her Chinese family was preparing for the minister's family, and by being so descriptive she gets the reader to better understand her point.  

I think the correct answer is C. uses figurative language to describe the prawns.

Explanation:

I think this because "figurative language is a way to engage your readers, ushering them through your writing with a more creative tone." and that is what the author does in this sentence.

taken from the novel “the adventures of huckleberry finn” by mark twain (1884), the author narrates about social issues and norms related to morality, prejudice, and slavery. twain included the excerpt above in order to discuss a moral conflict that huck is in: following the moral values he has received from the society in which he lives. moreover, there are moral issues such as gilt and blame discussed here. in the excerpt above, which is part of chapter xvi, huck faces a dilemma: jim to escape or telling miss watson about jim’s flight. huck feels confused, since by choosing one action or another someone is going to get hurt. both jim and miss watson have him in different ways; jim has protected him and has been very kind with him and miss watson has him with his education. the following sentence is a clear example of the dilemma huck faces when he narrates what his conscience tells him: “what had poor miss watson done to you that you could see her niger go off right under your eyes and never say one single word? ”.
