Answer: A) It reinforces the idea of the United Nations’ strength and power.

Repetition is often used as a rhetorical device in order to emphasize an idea. It can also be used to provide more weight to a particular topic or to leave a long-lasting image in the listener's mind. In this case, the idea that Roosevelt is trying to emphasize is that the United Nations will strike again, because of its strength and power. By repeating the word "strike," he is making sure that the listener understands the extent of this promise and the power of the UN.

It might mean fall since the leaves in fall are yellow and that's how it symbolizes in nature. It might also mean that since fall is also represented as the waning of one's years and that the speaker is old and is approaching his last days, but the decision to choose the roads will affect him deeply.

Write a sonnet about the ocean
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The sea sings a sweet song of my desire

Morning sunlight kisses my warm, pale cheeks

A marbled sunrise painted the color of fire

On wind-swept sand sea birds preen with their beaks

The wet and wild days of a ship’s captain

Opaque clouds mask the twilight sky at night

There lies in my heart a growing faction

Like wings of the seagulls my soul takes flight

While thunder cracks and waves roll onto shore

Driftwood sails by in shades of ebony

Sea foam gurgles and winds begin to roar

sky and the sea in endless harmony

I left my heart in the sand by the sea Oh dear ocean I will return to thee

What are the central ideas in the article in a scattered protest Saudi women take the wheel
nordsb [41]

The main ideas of the article "In a Scattered Protest, Saudi Women Take the Wheel" are the following:

  • Women should have the same rights as men in Arabian countries. Even though the country has been upgrading women's right, there is still a lot more to do.
  • Even though women are allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, they complained against the country's ban on female drivers and argued that the Arab state should allow women to hold a license.
