"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." (A) contains a hyperbole.
In literature, a hyperbole is a stylistic exaggeration. It is used to give a dramatic effect to a statement.
Here, the hyperbole is: "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe." There are of course prices that the U.S. are going to refuse to pay, burdens they will not afford to carry, etc., but by exaggerating these commitments, Kennedy sounds more resolute and more persuasive.
Answer:
B. idioms
Explanation:
<u>Idioms are phrases or expressions that say one thing but are in fact conveying a different meaning which is previously culturally established. </u>
If one tries to understand them literally, they won’t have much sense. Yet, those who know language proficiently will understand the meaning of these phases in a metaphoric sense accepted in the common language and the symbolic matter.
<u>Some of the examples can be:</u>
- <u>when the pigs fly</u> – this means something will never happen, as pigs do not fly
- <u>piece of cake</u> – means something is very easily achieved and accomplished with little effort.
- <u>to pull someone’s leg </u>– idiom meaning to joke with someone, to make them believe in something which is not true, but in a playful way. \
- <u>to break the ice</u> – meaning to do something first and make others at ease, to relieve the tension.
Answer: Among the three parties mentioned, the libertarian and the green party fight for equality. Already the Republican party has currently shown a more conservative character.
Explanation:
Libertarian party
The political platform of the Libertarian Party reflects the advocacy of liberalism by its supporters, advocating minimal regulation of the economy, the laissez-faire market, the protection of civil liberties, non-regulation of borders and non-interventionism in the politics of other countries, advocating a foreign policy that respects freedom of trade and movement between all countries.
The Green Party platform emphasizes environmentalism, participatory democracy, social justice, respect for diversity, peace and nonviolence.
The Republican Party is the other major political party in the United States. Since the 1880s it is known by the nickname Grand Old Party (GOP). Founded in 1854 by anti-slavery activists and modernizers, the Republican Party gained notoriety in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln, who used the party machine to gain support in winning the American Civil War. The GOP dominated US politics for two periods, from 1854 to 1932. Today, the Republican Party supports a conservative political platform that preaches economic liberalism, fiscal conservatism, and social conservatism.
Yes because you are stating what and who he is which are two different things. It needs two different commas.
Chaptet 8: It's recess, so Miss Honey goes straight to see the Trunchbull, because she wants to explain what a genius Matilda is.
There's just one problem: the Trunchbull is a scary person. And she's not the most understanding individual in the world. To say the least.
As soon as the conversation starts it's pretty clear that Miss Honey is scared of the Trunchbull, and the Trunchbull will barely let Miss Honey get a word in.
