type of literary device uses language that appeals to the senses?

1. Figure of speech.

2. Imagery.

3. Personification.

4. Allegory.

The correct answer is: Imagery.

Imagery is the correct answer as it is a type of literary device that uses language to appeal to the senses. Figure of speech, personification, and allegory also use language to create imagery, but they are not the specific type of literary device mentioned in the question. Figure of speech is a broad term that encompasses multiple literary devices, including imagery. Personification is a figure of speech that gives human characteristics to non-human things. Allegory is a narrative with a hidden meaning typically related to political or moral issues. While these options all use language to create sensory images, they are not the specific type of literary device mentioned in the question.
