It could be a couple different ones... it really depends what "it" is. Like the answer above, it is a metaphor, because you are relating "it" to something that zooms (i.e. a cameral lens). It is also an onomatopoeia, because "zoom" is a sound. Hope this helps!!

What is the meaning of this aphorism from Pain's The American Crisis? Wisdom is not the purchase of a day. a. people cannot buy

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

d. Nothing comes easily.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine's The American Crisis is an essay that he wrote showing his support for the ongoing war and revolt against the British government. In it, he also stressed the need to keep on fighting until the American colonists get their freedom and steer clear of the British authority.

Aphorisms are sayings or expressions that relay the simple truth of life. It contains a general truth of what the reality is. And in Paine's aphorism "Wisdom is not the purchase of a day", he means that nothing comes easy for a successful effort. This line is used in his appeal to the colonists to generate greater force to fight against the enemy, and that it must be done if the colonies are to succeed in their war against the British. Like wisdom which is attained after numerous attempts and sacrifice, the colonies must also be ready to sacrifice their all if they are to gain their freedom from the British rule.
