The effect of the repetition of "your" is that it reinforces the speaker’s feeling of separation, as stated in option B and further explained below.

<h3>What is repetition?</h3>

When it comes to speeches, repetition is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating the same word, phrase, or clause several times. The purpose of doing so is to emphasize an idea. Here, we are analyzing the repetition of the possessive "your" in Frederick Douglass' speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?"

The repetition of "your", in this context, emphasizes the speaker's feeling of separation. Douglass, a former slave, does not feel included in this celebration of the country's independence. He sees a clear separation between himself and other slaves from the white audience to whom he speaks.

The use of "your", thus, emphasizes that, to the slave, that celebration means nothing, for he is not free. Therefore, the feeling of separation is clear, which means option B is the correct answer.

Select a passage from Chapters 21-25 that uses connotative meanings of words. Discuss what the connotative meanings are and what

drek231 [11]

Connotative meanings are identified through words that do not have real meanings, but subjective meanings and are different from those found in the dictionary.

We can come up with this answer because:

Connotative meaning refers to an adapted meaning that refers to figurative language.
This is because words with connotative meanings have a different meaning from the real meaning, which is shown in the dictionary.
The use of words with connotative meaning is made to deepen and highlight specific points in the text, being able to promote messages and highlight the theme, tone, among others.

You have not provided the text this question refers to, which prevents me from providing a specific answer, but I hope the above information will help you.

When and where did the native Americans first teach the European settlers to grow corn

Hitman42 [59]

Native Americans had grown corn for more than 2000 years. They ate it and used it to brew beer way before the Europeans landed on America on the late 15th century, led by Christopher Columbus.

When the settlers arrived to the West Indies, they were offered corn by the Native American Indians. They learned how to grow it, took seeds back with them and introduced it in Europe.
