Answer:

C. words used in a way that is not literally true

Explanation:

a figure of speech is when you use words in a non-literal sense--you don't genuinely mean what you're saying.

It typically brings more emphasis/meaning to your statement because you are able to use abstract ideas.

For example, take the phrase "heart of stone"

we don't actually mean that someone's heart is made of stone--that would be impossible. Instead, we are trying to place emphasis on how cold hearted (mean/ no empathy) someone is.

So, a figure of speech could be described as words used in a way that is not literally true
