Answer:

Zeugma

Explanation:

A zeugma consists in blending together grammatically and logically different ideas. The words <em>paychecks, hope, fear </em>and <em>government surplus food</em> denote grammatically and logically different ideas. For example, <em>hope </em>and <em>fear </em>are abstract nouns; <em>paychecks </em>and <em>food </em>are<em> </em>concrete nouns.

Read the two excerpts from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

A)  Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.

Explanation:

Brutus and Antony both ask rhetorical questions. Isn't it? "Would you rather Caesar live and all slaves die than Caesar die and all free men live? ...Who is a bondman here?" Asks Antony "Did Caesar appear ambitious? Was it a goal?"

The other choices are incorrect. Brutus' ambition is not positive. He says he killed Caesar for his ambition. He probably wouldn't have killed him if he valued ambition. They didn't mention Caesar's flaws. Using the pronoun "you" directly addresses the crowd.
