English
1 answer:
____ [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

the correct option is D: Antithesis

Explanation:

An Antithesis is a literary device which features opposing or contrary ideas side by side to achieve a contrasting effect.

<em>"Though they were my joy"....</em>then he adds<em> </em><em>formerly </em>thus negating or reversing the first phrase. The same goes for the second line in the excerpt:

<em>"today I notice them..." </em>then he adds "<em>and turn away forgetting</em>" thus flipping the first part of the sentence. Hence the contrasts are used to creatively highlight his thoughts.

Cheers!

You advise your grandmother against using mineral oil as a laxative because
faltersainse [42]

The human body, as you may know, requires vitamins and minerals to be healthy.  Also, laxatives can be more hurtful than helpful sometimes.  So, it is important for everyone, especially older people, to be careful with laxatives and be very aware of their uses, side effects, and interactions.  Mineral oils will cause everything to be passed/excreted.  This includes fat soluble vitamins.  Thus, it would be quite advisable to let your grandmother know that even though mineral oils might help with constipation, there will be side effects—side effects that may do more harm than good.
