Based on the information provided, the correct answer is (A) "The introduction explains what a figure of speech is and the final section shows two examples of figures of speech."

To justify this answer choice:

In the introduction paragraph, it is mentioned that it explains what a figure of speech is. Figures of speech are linguistic devices used to express ideas in a non-literal way, enhancing the meaning and impact of the language. This sets the foundation for understanding the concept of figures of speech.

In the final section titled "Idiom And Slang," it is stated that two examples of figures of speech are shown. The use of idioms and slang in language constitutes figures of speech. Therefore, this final section provides practical examples of figures of speech in action.

By comparing the information from both the introduction and the final section, it becomes evident that the connection between the two sections is that the introduction explains the concept of figures of speech, while the final section demonstrates two examples of figures of speech.

5. "We thought we were safe and warm, but a tree branch crashed through the roof" contains an the word "crashed" which is an ONOMATOPOEIA because it represents that song that the tree branch made.

6. "Death stands above me, whispering low I know not what into my ear" is a personification of death and it is also a metaphor for one who is near death, but, primarily, it is a use of IMAGERY to create an image in the mind of the reader.
