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.

what do you think is the purpose of the porter scene? (in other words, what does it tell us about characters, how does it create
slega [8]

Answer:

The purpose of the porter scene is to create a heavy atmosphere and to herald the betrayal Macbeth will do to King Duncan.

Explanation:

This question is about Macbeth. Where the porter scene refers to the moment when he makes a joke about him he is guarding the gates of hell. This may serve to give a certain relief to me with the scenes that will follow, but it is also a subjunctive way of foreshadowing the homicide that will be established, in addition to creating a heavy atmosphere in the work. The porter also says that he is opening the gates for the soldiers who "carousing till the second c**k" this alludes to the c**k that sang when Peter denied and betrayed Christ three times, foreshadowing the betrayal that Macbeth would do to King Duncan.
