<span>The word that suggests a humorous moment is coming has to be "giggles" as if this was replaced by "screams" for example, the meaning would be very different. The apprehension created by a literary device such as this is an important technique to keep writing exciting for the reader.</span>

Identify the primary rhetorical device:
emmainna [20.7K]

The primary rhetorical device in the sentence is parallelism, since a grammatical structure is repeated for emphasis and persuasion, as explained below.

<h3 /><h3>What is a rhetorical device?</h3>

A rhetorical device is any technique used with persuasion and emphasis as its purpose. That is, anything a writer or a speaker does or says in order to persuade their audience of something is a rhetorical device.

In the excerpt "I’ve seen things on the range. I’ve battled my share of snakes. I’ve dealt with snakes that were animals and snakes that were people," the primary rhetorical device is parallelism. Parallelism is the repetition of a grammatical structure inside a sentence. The structure being repeated here is:

  • noun + that + were + noun
  • snakes that were animals
  • snakes that were people

With the information above in mind, we can select option D as the correct answer for this question.

Explain the conflict between brand and wetherell
777dan777 [17]

By wading into the highly contentious issue of Native American nicknames and mascots for college sports teams on Friday, National Collegiate Athletic Association leaders achieved their stated aim of sending a clear message that they object to such imagery. But the NCAA also created a cacophony of confusion and put the association in the potentially uncomfortable position of judging when Native American references are “hostile” and “abusive” and when they’re not – questions that could take months, and possibly help from the courts, to resolve.

Four years after the NCAA began looking into the subject, its executive committee announced that beginning in February, it would limit participation in its own postseason championships for 18 colleges and universities with Native American mascots, nicknames or other imagery that the association deemed "hostile and abusive."

The NCAA said that (1) it would no longer let such institutions play host to its national tournaments; (2) colleges already scheduled to sponsor such events would have to eliminate any references to the Indian imagery from the arenas or stadiums; (3) such colleges could not bring mascots, cheerleaders or any other people or paraphernalia that feature Native American imagery to NCAA championships, beginning in 2008; and (4) athletes may not wear uniforms or other gear with "hostile and abusive" references at NCAA tournament events. (The NCAA’s actions don’t directly affect bowl games, which the association does not control, or anything that happens in the regular season.)

According to the keynesian theory of macroeconomics when should government use fisical policy?
Artist 52 [7]

During a depression or an economic downturn. Indeed, Keynes sustained that during a depression or a recession, consumer demand shrinks to its minimum which in turn cause unemployment as factories close because nobody is buying their products and that creates more unemployment which in turn further decreases consumer demand and the system engages in a vicious cycle that further weakens the economy.

Keynes recommended that the only and best solution was to apply a fiscal policy, on in layman’s terms, government spending in massive infrastructure projects that will stimulate economic activity by boosting employment and demand for products and services, both directly and indirectly. However, Keynes also indicated that a reduction or an expansion of the interest rates was necessary as well, depending  in the economic circumstances.
