Answer:

Two examples of figurative language used by Douglass on his speech are Allusion and Synecdoche.

Explanation:

When he says: <em>"What I ask for the Negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice." , </em>he expresses it as if it was a desire of his own, when in reality the effect he wants to achieve is that people realize that it is not a desire of him, but a <em>right</em> of all black men. There is when he is using Allusion.

When he says: <em>“What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us!..."</em>, he is appealing to the racism feeling of the word "<em>Negro</em>", instead of using the term "black man", to make a bigger impact on the listeners. This is where Synecdoche is used.

Finally he manages to have power in his speech, receiving an applause after his words.

Vonnegut uses satire to expose which societal folly?
alexandr1967 [171]
<span>One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire.  The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution.  All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect."  Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful.  Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home.  George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages".  These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society.  Equality (in looks, strength, intelligence, etc.) does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy.  In every society there are winners and losers.  There is no way around that.</span>

The statement that would be MOST appropriate to include in an accurate and objective summary of the Declaration is: D. The Universal Declaration was intended to advance respect for all people regardless of their apparent  differences.

<h3>What is an Objective Summary?</h3>

An objective summary is free from emotions. It states the facts and addresses the main points in the text. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights advocated for equal rights and freedom from slavery.

The right to liberty, life, and free speech were all advocated for by the Universal Declaration. Option D clearly states the objective of this Universal Declaration.
