smoke emerged? is that a figurative language?

Question

and i could not grasp their meanings
is that figurative language

Answer 1

It doesn't sound like it is figurative, it sounds literal. The difference:

Figurative language means that the writer is using a term to liken something to something else eg 'the lake was like ice' - now the lake is not really like ice (ie frozen) but it's appearence is like ice and the writer is using this to give you an image.

Your example 'smoke emerged' iis literal, that means that it is actually going on (ie the smoke is coming out of somewhere)

Hope this helps

Answer 2

I don't think so. I think it just means that smoke suddenly became visible--like if you start a fire in the fireplace and go outside to watch the chimney, smoke will emerge and become visible once the fire gets going.

Answer 3

No
