Answer:

Imagery- creates a clear picture in the reader’s mind.

Symbolism- represents an abstract idea with a concrete object.

Alliteration- calls attention to certain words and creates a rhythm with words.

Oxymoron- makes readers pause and think about the contradiction created with two opposing words.

Explanation:

There are numerous literary devices that writers use in their works. Such literary devices or techniques allows them to perfectly present their ideas and proposed effects to the readers.

Imagery is the use of descriptive words to help readers paint a picture in their heads about what is talked about. This also allows the presentation of ideas in such a way that the readers can identify and even imagine the scenes of the story, giving it a perfect way of expression to the writer's words.

eg, He wore a white crisp shirt and bright red trousers.

Symbolism is the use of certain symbols to signify or represent ideas, themes, and purposes. It uses certain objects or even words to represent or stand for an abstract idea that the writer wants to convey rather than directly state it. It makes reading more interesting and fun.

eg, A dove is a symbol of peace.

Alliteration is the use of the same letters of a given word in quick succession or close quarters. This creates a form of rhythm to the words used, making certain words or phrases stand out and also provide a bit of musicality to the words/ work.

eg, The <u>baby blue basket and bib</u> make for a great combination of colors for the whole dreary scene.

An oxymoron is when two contrasting words are placed together in a given sentence. This rhetorical device is self-contradictory but provides a great impact or effect in the sentence.

eg, When we went to meet him, we never expect him to be <u>seriously funny</u>.

Answer:

{In Explanation}

Explanation:

The broadcast media influences public opinion in the US by being  biased, not reporting all of the news but only reporting what they  want the public to know, and by reporting false news.  The entertainment media influences public opinion because too many  people believe that what they see on television or in the movies is  real.
