"Passion, and passion in its profoundest, is not a thing demanding a palatial stage whereon to play its part. Down among the gro

undlings, among the beggars and rakers of garbage, profound passion is enacted. And the circumstances that provoke it, however, trivial or mean, are no measure of its power."

Answer:

The given passage is taken from "Billy Bud, Sailor" written by Herman Melville.

Explanation:

The text appears in Chapter 13 of the novel.

Billy Bud is a sailor and the protagonist of the novel.

The narrator in this text is referring to Claggart's passions. The narrator states that passions can bring a person to his lowest point and it does not require 'palatial stage' to be provoked. In this passage, Claggart had started to resent Billy.

Claggart is the exact opposite character of Billy. Billy, on the one hand, is innocent, Claggart on the other is evil and wicked.

3. She is having good days, bad days, long days and short days.

4. Hike the Appalachian Trail is exploring the Panama Canal and the Mississippi ford.

Explanation:

I have been able to show the four rhetorical devices used in the given passage.

Parallelism is the use of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. We see it in the line: "We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: <em>the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman</em>."

Anaphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase in a sentence at the beginning of successive classes.

It is seen in the line:  "It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty."

Alliteration is the rhetorical device that repeats the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that adjacent or closely connected.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Epiphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase at the end of  successive clauses.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, <em>you must vote</em>. If you believe that your country can be better, <em>you must vote</em>."
