Is there colon used correctly in this sentence " the king ordered that all his subjects should show their allegiance through com

mon forms of attire: yet many people continue to wear the traditional hats of their various regions"
English

In the example provided, the colon is used incorrectly in the sentence. Colons are used when introducing a list of actions or items.  In this case, it is used to separate ideas, which is incorrect.

The correct punctuation item is a comma since it is used to separate ideas. The corrected sentence should be as follows: “he king ordered that all his subjects should show their allegiance through common forms of attire, yet many people continue to wear the traditional hats of their various regions”.

Identify the type of figurative language used by John F. Kennedy in his famous moon speech. "The greater our knowledge increases
nadya68 [22]

     The figurative language used in the excerpt "The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds" is the <u>paradox</u>.  

  The paradox connects in the same situation two opposite things in a construct phrase that together acquires  sense: although it seems more logical that when knowledge increases, ignorance reduces or fades away, the meaning of this sentence is that the more we know, the more we discover that yet we have much to learn; Then, the connection of the increasing knowledge with the unfolding ignorance makes sense.
