The following excerpt from Carl Sandburg's 'How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat' uses repetition and alliteration:

1. A big wind blew up and blew and blew till all the tails of the animals blew off.

Explanation: The term 'alliteration' refers to the same sound or alphabet or letter repeating itself in close succession within a sentence. In other words, when the same consonant sounds occur closely one after the other in different words of a sentence, it is known as alliteration.

Carl Sandburg is well known to use several literary techniques and technical devices to enhance the structure of his stories. Alliteration and repetition are some of them, in addition to onomatopoeia (forming a word with the sound associated with it, e.g. sizzle), and certain playful non-existent/unusual words (e.g. scritch scratch).

These techniques lend a sort of playfulness to the narrative, making it more engaging to the readers.

Answer & Explanation:

Unarguably, Corona virus will have a long lasting effect on humanity. For some it will be positive while others will be negative. On a personal note, I choose to see the opportunity it created for me especially in the last two months.

I remember vividly how before the complete lockdown of the economy I had a shallow perspective on life especially as it concerns my career. I paid no attention to the use of technology and relied fully on my knowledge in my field of study.

However, the lockdown of the economy made me a changed individual as I was able to see reality, have a rethink on my life and grab an opportunity of a life time. I embraced technology, developed myself by enrolling in an ICT online program.

Furthermore, as a result of the opportunity I got, I became more relevant at my place of employment as my productive and speed of delivery improved.

Tpy6a [65]

The sentence that can be removed without affecting the explanation is "In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity."

The reason this sentence can be removed is that it does not offer any necessary information to the explanation. The passage is about how technology leads to bigger cities. This information is conveyed just as efficiently without the need for the first sentence.

Rather than serving to offer information, the first sentence in the passage serves as a sort of introduction to the text. The very next sentence can just as easily serve as an intro to the passage while providing context for the development of early technology that led to the industrial revolution.

For these reasons, the sentence "In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity." can easily be removed from the passage without affecting the explanation.
