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.

How to convince my uncle to help me to study abroad​
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

I also want to study abroad, but it's not really that easy when you need to have enough to pay for your expenses (food, clothing, school supplies) and a student visa. It takes a lot of process, but if you really want to, then study hard because your GPA and scores depends on whether you can go or not. Go for it if that's what you want! :)

Studying abroad is an opportunity to learn about culture, adventure and it can help greatly benefit for your future. But, not everyone does that though but it's going to be great. I hope I helped and good luck!
