A figure of speech is a word or phrase that has a meaning other than the literal meaning. It can be a metaphor or simile that's designed to further explain a concept. Or it can be the repetition of alliteration or exaggeration of hyperbole to give further emphasis or effect. There are many different types of figures of speech in the English language. We will give you examples of some of the most commonly used types here.

Which is textual evidence of persistent determination? A) Endowed by nature with a robust constituion Eliminate B) The daily wor
borishaifa [10]

B) The daily work continued; nay, it actually increased;

Something that is happening on a consistent basis. It also gives the feeling that it is work to make it persistent. In option B, the statement "daily work" indicates that something is done daily which supports the idea of persistent. The sentence containing the line "The daily work continued; nay, it actually increased" also includes the description "with an astonishing pertinacity." Pertinacity means persistent determination. The brain failing and life slipping away does not show any persistent determination. Also, the statement that she inquired with acute anxiety does not how any persistent determination.

What word best fits this sentience? ----, the constitution breaks the U.S. Government into three branches. Pick one of the four
Airida [17]

Answer:

B). Instead

Explanation:

As per the question, the most appropriate word to complete the given sentence would be 'instead.' Thus, the complete sentence reads as:

'Instead, the constitution breaks the U.S. Government into three branches.'

<u>It offers a complete and accomplished meaning. It implies that 'in comparison to the present two branches of the federal government, the constitution instead divides the United States Govt. three equal yet independent branches</u>.' The other word fails to go as per the context of the sentence and convey an incomplete thought as they either include a subordinating conjunction('although', 'before') or require contextual background(as 'in conclusion'). Thus, <u>option</u> <u>B</u> is the correct answer.
