Answer:

In this excerpt, Reagan uses:

C. allusion to give his speech more authority.

Explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone. It is common for the author or speaker to not explain much, since he assumes the audience knows to whom or what he refers.

<u>In this particular case, President Reagan used allusion with the purpose of conferring his speech more authority. The Bible is a well-known book, even in countries where Christianity is not prevalent. In the U.S., a country largely constituted of Christians, alluding to the Bible is a way to immediately inspire respect and evoke obedience. Therefore, mentioning the wisdom "contained in the book of Genesis in the Bible" helps Reagan's speech sound more authoritative, more worthy of respect</u>.

Surprise sentence as verb
Nana76 [90]
Hello there! A sentence with a verb in it would be as follows:

I had to run so that I did not miss my bus.

The verb in this sentence would be the word “run,” because it shows an action that a person can physically perform.

An action verb is a word or phrase that shows action in what a person or object does. Given the definition, we can imply that any word that is a course of action somebody can perform is identified as a verb.

However, there are different kinds of verbs too. A linking verb is a word that links the predicate (the part of a sentence including the verb and stating what the subject does) with the subject (who or what the sentence is about). Words that are linking verbs include “like,” “be,” “is,” “are,” “was,” and “were.” A sentence containing a linking verb would look like this:

“She was so noisy, she sounded like the principal from Matilda!”

See the connection? In this sentence, the creator used the linking verb “like” to form a resemblance of the girl being loud with the principal from Matilda. Sentences with linking verbs can be effective depending on how they are used. If you need any extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
