Symbolic proportion is when you use another item to explain what something is to someone. For example, you might tell someone an old Nintendo game looked like an 8-track tape.
Mineral oil is used to treat constipation. It is known as a lubricant laxative. It works by keeping water in the stool and intestines. This helps to soften the stool and also makes it easier for stool to pass through the intestines.
