The correct answer is C) it enhances the melancholic tone of the poem.

<em>Mathew Arnold mentions Sophocles in this excerpt of "Dover Beach" because it enhances the melancholic tone of the poem.</em>

English poet Mathew Arnold wrote the Lyric poem "Dover Beach" in 1867. The poems refer to the port of Dover, in England, where his honeymoon was held. When he wrote about Sophocles saying that: "Sophocles long ago Heard it on the Aegean, and it brought. Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow Of human misery," Arnold shares the sadness and melancholic moments he experimented.

Cheers to a glass of silk milk, 
Dyed with the colors of purple. 
Make it like doves and pomegranates,
Get paid with gold and sliver,
The leaves look silverish

What effect does repetition have on the speech
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Emphasis on words/phrases

Memory impression on audience

Explanation:

In a speech, the speaker may decide to use repetition to emphasize certain ideas, make them stand out. Because the ideas are being voiced more times, the speaker is indicating that they are more important.

Naturally, if the speaker says a word or a phrase more, the audience is more likely to remember it.

Example:

With repetition:

"They have a desire to be <u>free</u> -- <u>free</u> from war, <u>free</u> from starvation, and <u>free</u> from oppression."

Using repetition, the speaker conveys to the audience that the idea of being free is important. The audience is more likely to remember that 'they' <em>really </em> want to be <u>free</u>.

Without repetition:

"They have a desire to be <u>free</u> from war, starvation and oppression."

Without repetition, the idea of being free is not stressed. This sentence would seem just like all of the other sentences that the speaker says. Because this sentence does not stand out, the idea of freedom gets lost within the many <em>many</em> other ideas the speaker talks about. If the speaker wants to audience to remember this idea, he/she could use repetition.
