Answer: The man's quest for knowledge seems to be the topic. The speaker seems to driven and intense about knowing and seeing the world.
Explanation:
I took the liberty to correct your typing. The original question does not have the verb "is" after the word "brother". The way you typed it, none of the options would be correct. The proper question is this one:
<em>Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
</em>
<em>A) My brother a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road. </em>
<em>B) My brother, a truck driver spends a great deal of time on the road. </em>
<em>C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road. </em>
<em>D) My brother, a truck, driver spends a great deal of time on the road.</em>
<em />
The sentence that is punctuated correctly is option C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road. The structure "a truck driver" is an appositive. That means its function in this sentence is to give further information or an explanation about something that was just mentioned - in this case, the word brother. The speaker is explaining that his/her brother spends a lot of time on the road because he is a truck driver. Appositives should come between commas. That's why option C is the right one.
The answer is: <span> The repeated words highlight the idea that it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies.
Sometimes writers use repetition to emphasize points on their written work. In this example, the character is neither afraid to live nor die in the presence of his homeland. The repetition of words exaggerates his disinterest in both life and death.</span>
