The paragraph contains an example of repetition, option A, since the author uses the sentence "We proved them wrong" four times, as explained below.

<h3>What is repetition?</h3>

The rhetorical device known as repetition consists, as the name suggests, of repeating the same word, phrase, or sentence with the purpose of emphasizing an idea.

In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the sentence "We proved them wrong" is used four times. The author's purpose seems to be the emphasis on the idea that they, the team, are unstoppable and unconquerable.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.

Metaphor is one of the figure of speech; it uses a word or phrase to describe something, which the word is not really applicable to in order to show similarities between the two. It is often used to reveal hidden similarities between two ideas or objects. Authors usually use metaphor in order to compare and to enlarge readers' understanding.

Choose the best answer (A,B,C) People living in the slums never get good healthcare,? A.Don"t they B.Aren't they C.Are they D.Do
Anarel [89]

Answer:

D. Do they

Explanation:

A question can be defined as a statement that begs or requires an answer, response or reply.

In English language, questions are grouped into four (4) main categories and these are;

I. Rhetorical question.

II. Close-ended question.

III. Open-ended question.

IV. Between the lines question.

A question tag can be defined as a very short clause placed at the end of a sentence (statement) which changes it to a question. Some examples of tags used in English language are: can we, can't we, should I, aren't they, shouldn't they, wouldn't it, weren't they, do I, shall we, etc.

In the scenario, the most appropriate or suitable tag to complete the question is "do they?" because they are more than one i.e a plural subject would be used.

<em>Hence, the complete question is written as;</em>

<em>"People living in the slums never get good healthcare, do they?"</em>
