The rhetorical strategy that Lincoln used when he wrote the phrase "of the people ... by the people ... for the people ... shall not perish from this earth" is known as parallel structure. Option C is correct.

Parallel structure also known as parallelism refers to the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. A parallel construction is achieved by making each compared item or idea in the sentence follow the same grammatical pattern.

It's not metaphor, it's parallel structure. If it were a metaphor it would be comparing something without the use of like or as like a simile does. The person you marked brainliest is incorrect.

1 Complete the reported speech. 8.1
Artemon [7]

Answer:

She said she<u> was wearing</u> her sister's jacket.​

Explanation:

Reported speech involves shifting the tense back to the past. In that matter, the Present Continuous turns into Past Continuous in reported speech. Thus, in the sentence given, in direct speech, the verb <em>'m wearing</em> becomes <em>was wearing</em> in reported speech.

Apart from changes in verb tenses, other words such as pronouns, demonstratives and adverb phrases also change in reported speech. For example, <em>my sister</em> is reported as <em>her sister</em>.
