Answer:

C). Parallelism.

Explanation:

'Parallelism' is demonstrated as the literary device that involves repetition of words, or phrases with similar or parallel grammatical structure, meter, or sound, etc. It allows the author to propose a pattern as well as a rhythm that promotes the smooth flow of ideas and enhance its persuasiveness.

In the given passage from 'The Grapes Of Wrath', the author employs 'parallelism' which is reflected through the repetition of the phrase 'could not', 'the land', etc. that offers a balance and rhythm to it. It allows the smooth transition of ideas and enhances the understanding and persuasiveness for the readers. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

3. Was McCandless reasonable in his reaction to his parents’ past? Should he have forgiven them?
antoniya [11.8K]

After his graduation Chris the neighborhood where he grown up and he discovered that his father had continued an affair with his first wife even after starting a relationship and having children with Billie. Chris did not tell anyone but he had negative feelings about it. I think he should have forgive his father because in that way he would have been able to leave aside those negative feelings that made him a  resentful man.

Explain what effect the repetition of the lines “Brennan on the Moor, Brennan on the Moor,
azamat

Answer:

The repetition of the line, "Brennan on the moor/Brennan on the moor/bold and undaunted stood young Brennan on the moor"

Explanation:

The repetition of the line, "Brennan on the moor/Brennan on the moor/bold and undaunted stood young Brennan on the moor" in the opening and closing stanzas call the reader to remember the name of the man in this epic-style poem as we begin and end his tragic story.

In the opening lines, the repetition is quite like a battle cry where the person spoken about is seen as our hero. As readers, we repeat his name to honor him and call forth his story.

In the closing lines, the repetition is meant to be an homage to the hero of our poem who has died.
