The answer is True: The two types of analogies are literal and figurative.

Explanation:

  1. Literal Analogies: These compare two things that are similar in a straightforward, direct way. For example, comparing the structure of an atom to the solar system is a literal analogy because both have a central core (nucleus or sun) with objects (electrons or planets) orbiting around it.

  2. Figurative Analogies: These compare two things that are not alike in a literal sense but share some common characteristic or function. For example, saying "Time is a thief" is a figurative analogy because time does not literally steal, but it can take away moments from our lives in a way that feels similar to theft.

Both types of analogies are used to help explain or clarify ideas by drawing comparisons that make the unfamiliar more understandable through the familiar.
