Answer:

<u>Parallelism</u>

Explanation:

Parallelism refers to the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. It uses words, phrases or clauses that are grammatically similar or identical in structure, sound, meaning, or meter, with the purpose of showing that the stated ideas are equally important and to give a natural flow to the piece of writing.

The passage uses this literary device because some phrases and clauses have the same grammatical structure, such as <em>We </em><u><em>measured it</em></u><em> and </em><u><em>broke it </em></u><em>up; We were </em><u><em>born on it, we got killed on it, died on it</em></u>; and <em>being</em><u><em> born on it, working it, dying on it.</em></u>

WITCHER [35]

Answer: C) Sebastian feels he may be suffering from amnesia after the shipwreck, and refers to the river Lethe, which is associated with forgetfulness in Greek mythology.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from act IV, scene I of Twelfth Night we can see that Sebastian is really confused because he is being called Cesario and he is being attacked by Sir Andrew. As he had been recently in a shipwreck, he thinks he might be having amnesia and he refers to the river Lethe (a river of the underworld, Greeks believed that when people died, in order to reincarnate they had to drink of the Lethe and they forgot all of their previous life) as a sign of forgetfulness.
