The line that uses figurative language is the last one: The girl's eyes were deep blue oceans.

Figurative language refers to the use of figures of speech to make a literary text more impactful and to develop a more creative writing. Some forms of figurative language are simile, metaphor and personification. In the case of the line "The girl's eyes were deep blue oceans", there is a metaphor since a thing (the deep blue oceans) is regarded as representative of something else (the girl's eyes). In that way, the author is describing the girl's eyes by means of a comparison that, at the same time, should not been taken literally.

Answer from: katiepotter

The girl's eyes were deep blue oceans. This is the correct option.

Figurative language is a means writers or speakers use to express emotions, mainly. They do not use language to refer directly to reality but to tell what idea they have of relality. In the example, the writer / speaker compares the girl's eyes to oceans. The girl's eyes must have been blue and this colour must have activated in the speaker / writer 's mind the image of an ocean. Therefore, the writer / speaker sees the eyes like oceans but they are not real oceans. The speaker / writer must have got attracted by the colour of the eyes. Through figurative language, the speaker / writer shows his / her attraction.

These options are not right:

-I am very cold. ( This expresses a real state. )

-The melting snow froze on the sidewalk.( This refers to reality. It can be seen .There is real evidence).

-The boy jumped into the air. ( We could have seen the boy doing so).
