Answer 1

Figures of speech come in many varieties. The aim is to use the language inventively to accentuate the effect of what is being said. An example..... 

"Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran" is an example of alliteration, where the consonant r is used repeatedly.Whereas, "Sister Suzy sewing socks for soldiers" is a particular form of alliteration called sibilance, because it repeats the letter s.Both are commonly used in poetry.

A figure of speech is figurative language in the form of a single word or phrase

Figurative language uses words deviating from their proper definitions in order to achieve a more complicated understanding or heightened effect. Figurative language is often achieved by presenting words in order for them to be equated, compared, or associated with other normally unrelated words or meanings.
