What does figurative language “The night was moist black velvet” mean to you. I just want different peoples opinions

Answer: The sense of sight is applied by using the word "black" and the sense of touch is applied with "moist" because it helps describe the ocean. The third word, "velvet" is also used as a sense of touch, helping describe the smooth soft texture of the night, with the word "velvet".

Explanation:

Answer:

If the night was moist black velvet, the night air must be very humid and damp. It might also be pitch black out, so it would probably be very late out in the summer time, like 9PM - 3AM, or it could be anywhere from 6PM - 6AM in the winter months. Also, the word velvet compares the dark humid night to the moist black velvet, where visibility is low and nothing can be seen clearly. Velvet is a smooth texture, slippery and moist but compact and hard to see through. It perfectly relates to trying to look through a velvety texture. is describing the smooth texture of night. To me this means that the narrator is describing the night as a humid, smooth night.

Which of the following best describes the author's purpose in the passage?
Excerpt from The Art of Singing
Luisa Tetrazzint, the most famous Italian coloratura soprano of the day, declares that she began to sing before she learned to talk. Her parents were not musical, but her elder sister, now the
wife of the eminent conductor Cleofante Campanini, was a public singer of established reputation, and her success roused her young sister's ambition to become a great artist. Her parents
were well to do, her father having a large army furnishing store in Florence, and they did not encourage her in her determination to become a prima donna. One prima donna, said her father,
was enough for any family.
Luisa did not agree with him. If one prima donna is good, she argued, why would not two be better? So she never desisted from her importunity until she was permitted to become a pupil of
Professor Coccherani, vocal Instructor at the Lycée. At this time she had committed memory more than a dozen grand opera roles, and at the end of six months the professor confessed that
he could do nothing more for her voice; that she was ready for a career.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.
