Answer:

B. to lend impact to the sonnet's conclusion.

Explanation:

The lines present in the question were taken from Shakespeare's Sonnet 130. <u>The two lines at the end, or the final couplet, are structured in a different way from the others because their purpose is to lend impact to the sonnet's conclusion. Throughout the poem, the speaker is "criticizing" the woman he loves. </u>While Petrarchan sonnets were usually used to elevate women to an impossible status, comparing them to natural elements and concluding that they were always more beautiful, Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 does the opposite. The woman is a normal one, not more beautiful, sweeter, nor better smelling than anything else. <u>Still, at the final couplet, after all that criticism, the speaker says he loves her. Not only does he love her, but he won't lie about her. He loves her for who she really is.</u>

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country.

Explanation:

Pathos is a quality or emotional appeal that aims to elicit a certain emotion from an audience or listener to convince them to take a course of action.
