REY [17]3 years ago

Answer:

"What we attain too cheap we esteem too lightly."

Explanation:

"The Crisis" by Thomas Paine is an extremely persuasive document. Part of this success is the fact that it contains many excellent exercises on rhetoric. One of the literary devices that is present in this text is antithesis. Antithesis is a rhetorical device in which two ideas which are usually opposed are placed together in a sentence in order to achieve a contrasting effect. In this text, an example of antithesis would be:

<em>"What we attain too cheap we esteem too lightly."</em>

The error in logic is overgeneralization because the statement is making a generalization about all people having access to the computers, which isn't necessarily true. (For example, there might be issues with money or location.)
