What effect does the use of figures of speech have on the reader?

It increases the emotional impact of the story
It encourages the reader to make connections with the text
It helps the reader to gain insight into the characters
It adds complexity and depth to the story

The correct answer is: It adds complexity and depth to the story

The use of figures of speech has a number of effects on the reader, including adding complexity and depth to the story. Figures of speech, such as metaphors and similes, use language in a creative and imaginative way, which can enhance the overall reading experience. However, the other options are incorrect because while A and B may also be effects of figures of speech, they are not the primary effect. And while C may be true in some cases, it is not a consistent effect of using figures of speech.
