Figures of Speech are a set of tools essential for all writers.

We all love to decorate our home.
What would your home be like without them?
They give beauty and variety to what we wish to show

Same way- ‘Figures of Speech’ are decorations we use for our writing. Without them our writing would be boring.

(B) CLARITY:
A complex subject can best be conveyed imaginatively and captivatingly
