Answer:

Professor Sherry Turkle's little "sips" of online connection is a metaphor that describes the little "pieces" of conversation that we are having by using technological devices.

Explanation:

MIT Professor, Sherry Turkle, PhD, and a licensed clinical psychologist, with a joint doctorate in sociology and psychology, notes that people are now avoiding the necessary conversations that we ought to be having with one another because we are "plugged-in" to various technological devices. In her write-up in the New York Times of April 21, 2012 titled "The Flight from Conversation," Professor Sherry Turkle urges people not to "sacrifice conversation for mere connection." Since we are technology-enabled, she declares that we should make the best use of it to remain conversationally connected to others whether they are near or far, but must still bring ourselves to enjoy the indispensable face-to-face conversations with our fellow human beings.

Which excerpt from the speech is an example of antithesis?

adoni [48]

Antithesis is the figure of speech that allows the exposition of two opposing ideas in the same sentence.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The antithesis allows two opposing ideas to be presented together in a harmonious way.

This allows for an extension of a concept, or even to show confusion and uncertainty.

As with all figures of speech, antithesis is used to make texts deeper and more meaningful. Through figurative language.

An example of antithesis can be seen in the sentence:

"Living and dying are the most natural things in the world."

You have not shown the text this question refers to. This prevents me from providing a specific answer, but I hope the information above can help you.
