The correct answer is A. Given the boot—A shoemaker would work on boots

Explanation:

A pun refers to a humoristic, concise phrase or sentence that is created based on a word that has multiple meanings, words that sound similar or words that are closely related to others. In the case of the sentence "The shoemaker's assistant was given the boot when he was discovered stealing leather" the use of the word "boot" creates a pun because in this case the word "boot" means being fired but it is also a type of shoes which is ironic because the shoemaker's assistant probably worked with boots. This implies, the sentence that explains this pun is "Given the boot—A shoemaker would work on boots".

The repetition of consonant sounds, especially at the end of words or syllables, without the correspondence of vowel sounds nece
uysha [10]

Answer:

Consonance.

Explanation:

<em>'Consonance' </em><em>is demonstrated as the literary device that involves a succession of similar consonant sounds usually at the end of syllables or words without resembling the vowel sounds in a single line(sentence) or phrase.</em> The chief aim of employing such a device is to create a rhythmic and melodious effect that would captivate the readers' attention and appeal to them. In 'abstruser musings', there is a quick succession of consonant sound 's' while in the phrase 'That was a stroke of luck', the use of consonant sound 'k' repetitively creates the rhyming effect. Thus, <u>'consonance'</u> is the answer.

Many places in the United States do not require recycling do you think recycling should be mandatory or an individual choice why
Varvara68 [4.7K]
I think recycling should be mandatory. The reason why I chose this is because of pollution. Pollution exists because people throw plastic and trash everywhere. If everybody in the world recycles then pollution would definitely decrease.

Propaganda posters and rhetorical devices
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Well there are 3 most common rhetorical devices

Those of which would be

Ethos: Well this is usually in the form of credibility and shows how reliable a source can be when using this device. Like for example if your gonna quote an article form “George Washington”, its gonna be more eye appealing to others due to him being one of the most famous genrals in US/ history and being the first president and all.

Pathos: This is when your usually combining a feeling and making the reader feel something like for example portating guilt or Sadness could be a useful tool.

Logos:  This is just straight up facts, you support your evedine with reliable #1 and Jsut back it up with a ton of facts but don’t use too much or it would just be boring.

Well theres some pathos in this but I would say mainly ethos becuase it shows uncle sam, one of the most common faces in american cartoons and propaganda. It shows a lot of credibility.
