Answer:
“mines of gold”; “two were one”; “heavens reward”
Explanation:
“mines of gold”; “two were one”; “heavens reward” – This is the correct answer as it is the proper example of figurative speech. We know this is figurative speech is using the words despite their primal meaning to convey the symbolic message. It is usually used to build a clearer image in the text and also to make it more creative, poetic, and colorful.
For example, when Anne Bradstreet says “two were one” referring to the man she loves, she doesn’t mean they literally became one person, but that they functioned as one, that they had similar thoughts, that they understood each other, and that they acted perfectly in the symbiosis.
“happy in a man”; “compare with me” – This is an incorrect answer, as this is not an example of figurative speech, but just parts of a normal sentence.
“while we live”; “if you can” – As a previous answer, this is not the figurative speech but standard writing, and therefore it is not the correct answer.
