What is a common literary device used to make a larger point or convey an idea?

  1. Symbolism

  2. Simile

  3. Narrative

  4. Metaphor

The correct answer is: Symbolism

Symbolism is a literary device frequently used to make a larger point or convey an idea in literature. It involves the use of symbols, which are objects, characters, or actions that represent abstract ideas or concepts. Symbolism can add depth and meaning to a text by creating a connection between the literal and figurative elements of a story. While simile, narrative, and metaphor are also commonly used literary devices, they do not specifically focus on conveying a larger point or overarching idea in the same way that symbolism does, making them incorrect choices for this question.
