English

Answer:

<em>Option C: Thomas Hardy, "The Convergence of the Twain"</em>

Explanation:

Alliteration is a figure of speech and stylistic device that occurs when some words close to each other begin with the same letter, but also can be the same sound of the letters (C and K : Conspire; King). In the poem, the alliteration happens with the letter S: solitude; sea; with the letter P: pride; planned; and again with the letter S: silly; she.

I'd say the third passage because it's the only one in which alliteration (repeating initial consonant sounds to produce rhythm) is at all detectable ("solitude of the sea", "pride ... that planned", "stilly couches she").

Now that you’ve read and listened to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s "Four Freedoms," compare the experience of listening to a speech to
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Your answer should include these points:

Content: Discuss how Roosevelt uses both logical and emotional appeals. Note how he first explains why some Americans favor “appeasement” tactics, but these actions are both morally and practically wrong: “We are soft-hearted but we cannot afford to be soft-headed.” He also explains how staying out of the war is no guarantee that the United States will remain safe from German aggression, and he cites the examples of Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Emotional appeals: Note how Roosevelt invokes the four freedoms. He explains how the United States must go to war to protect Americans and people around the world.

Rhetoric: Roosevelt uses repetition effectively throughout his speech:

Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

By repeating the word our, Roosevelt emphasizes that the war is a joint effort that will require “personal sacrifices” from every American.

Parallel structure: The repetition of the phrase “not satisfied” emphasizes that Roosevelt, leaders in the armed forces, and the American people are united in the idea that more must be done to increase the production of armaments.

Tone: Note how Roosevelt varies his tone across the speech. For example, he raises his voice when he says the phrase “everywhere in the world” to stress that Americans will be making sacrifices not only for their own countrymen, but for the world.

Pace: Note how Roosevelt pauses before important words such as healthy, peace time, and victory at the end of the speech to emphasize these ideas.

Solve for c: 5c-4-2c+1=8c+2
MakcuM [25]
Original equation: 5c-4-2c+1=8c+2
The first thing you want to do is combine like terms:
3c-3=8c+2
Then. get the variable on its own side by subtracting the 3c from the left and subtracting the 2 from the right:
-5=5c
Divide both sides by 5 to get c by itself:
-1=c
