Answer:

A. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height / My soul can reach.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is a literary device used by writers and authors in representing or comparing things that are an exaggerated form of claims/ statements. These exaggerated comparisons are impossible to be seen or done in real life.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning in her poem "How Do I Love Thee?" is about a woman's love for someone. This love is not measures in degrees, the quantity of her expression but rather in the quality of her expression. When she writes/ says "<em>I love thee to the depth and breadth and height/ My soul can reach</em>" she is exaggerating the love she had for him. There is no possibility ever to see how far a person's soul can reach, nor is it possible or will ever happen. So, this is a case of a hyperbole in use.

Write<br>an argument against the motion<br>"Students should not play politics".<br>​
Oxana [17]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

"Students should not play politics" is a tone-deaf argument used by gatekeeping politicians who shut their doors to the struggling youth. For how many years have students complained about their schooling system, only to be turned down due to a lack of funds? When students try to participate in shaping the world, <em>their </em>world, they're treated like children. Students are expected to attend school full-time without being paid or publicly acknowledged. "Students should not play politics" holds little ground and defense for those who use it. What if a student is <em>studying</em> politics? Shouldn't they be able to use their expertise to contribute to political conversations? All inclusivity issues aside, politics will eventually become outdated if the people who run it refuse to listen to students and the younger generations. Most politicians are old and their views are outdated... why not listen to the people next in line? In conclusion, "students should not play politics" is only a restrictive, weak argument at its very core.
