"My vegetable love should grow/Vaster than empires and more slow" is an example of
Dimas [21]

I would say the correct answer is B. hyperbole.


Hyperbole is a figure of speech that authors use when they want to exaggerate things. So this 'vegetable love' cannot possibly grow larger than empires - the poem just wants to demonstrate the power and intensity of this love by using the figure of hyperbole. A paradox would include two completely opposite things, and <em>vast </em>and <em>slow </em>are not opposites.

A paradox exists when a seemingly contradictory statement is given that, upon closer examination, reveals a compelling truth. Lo
Hoochie [10]

We can see a paradox in the lyrics of "Breakeven" in the line:

"Just praying to a God that I don't believe in."

<h3>What is a paradox?</h3>
  • A paradox is a sentence that presents two opposing ideas that complement each other.
  • The paradox intends to create a sentence that expresses the complex, confused and contradictory feelings, which has the power to express the emotions of the speaker.
  • Despite seeming contradictory, the paradox presents aligned ideas, with opposing meanings that harmonize.

The question above does not show the Spenser poem to which it refers, but it is possible to say that the paradox is developed in the poem to show opposing ideas, confused emotions, doubts, and misaligned thinking.

Conclusions related to historical events are limited to subjective evaluation of the existing evidence. TRUE or FALSE.
Dmitry [639]
I believe the answer to this is "true." Really, all conclusions on all events are subjective. But considering history, conclusions on events are especially prone to subjectivity. Consider who writes the history books. If one country wins a war against another country, they will write about themselves as the noble party and portray the enemy as villainous. However, this may not be the real case. This occurs much more than we think, and we must research different events to make sure we are not blindly buying into what people say. Hope this helps.
