What type of figurative language is this?
The basketball swooshed into the basket and the crowd roared.

The correct answer is option D – Onomatopoeia The type of figurative language in this sentence is onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. Example of this the word "swooshed" in the sentence above. Swoosh means to move with a rushing sound.

The word onomatopoeia comes from the combination of two Greek words, onoma meaning "name" and poiein meaning "to make," so onomatopoeia means "to make a name or sound." The word means nothing aside for the sound it represents. I hope this helps.
