"No wind had blown for weeks, and each bough was fully freighted. Each time he had pulled a twig he had communicated a slight ag

itation to the tree -- an imperceptible agitation, so far as he was concerned, but an agitation sufficient to bring about the disaster. High up in the tree one bough capsized its load of snow. This fell on the boughs beneath, capsizing them. This process continued, spreading out and involving the whole tree. It grew like an avalanche, and it descended without warning upon the man and the fire, and the fire was blotted out! Where it had burned was a mantle of fresh and disordered snow."
Which explanation best describes the movement of the tree in the passage?
A. The slight movement is strong enough to cause an avalanche.
B. The slight movement is causing the entire tree to move.
C. The slight movement is difficult to identify.
D. The slight movement is nonexistent.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

A

1. Parallelism

2. Anaphora

3. Alliteration

4. Epiphora

B

1. To get ahead, a person needs to have good goals, study hard and plan well for the future.

2. The professor needs to either publish more books or work with his students.

3. She is having good days, bad days, long days and short days.

4. Hike the Appalachian Trail is exploring the Panama Canal and the Mississippi ford.

Explanation:

I have been able to show the four rhetorical devices used in the given passage.

Parallelism is the use of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. We see it in the line: "We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: <em>the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman</em>."

Anaphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase in a sentence at the beginning of successive classes.

It is seen in the line:  "It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty."

Alliteration is the rhetorical device that repeats the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that adjacent or closely connected.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Epiphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase at the end of  successive clauses.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, <em>you must vote</em>. If you believe that your country can be better, <em>you must vote</em>."
