The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The man that speaks those words is Sir Thomas More. Those words appear in <em>"A Man for All Seasons."</em>

English writer Robert Bolt wrote the play "A Man for All Seasons" in 1954. It first appeared as a version to the radio, and later for television. The play debuted in the Globe Theater in London, in 1960. It is based on the life of Sir Thomas More (1478-1535) an English philosopher and humanist of the Renaissance that opposed to the theology of Martin Luther and Reformation. He was sentenced to death after he rejected to take the Supremacy Oath required to swear allegiance to the Church of England.

Which excerpt from the speech is an<br> example of antithesis?
adoni [48]

Antithesis is the figure of speech that allows the exposition of two opposing ideas in the same sentence.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The antithesis allows two opposing ideas to be presented together in a harmonious way.
  • This allows for an extension of a concept, or even to show confusion and uncertainty.

As with all figures of speech, antithesis is used to make texts deeper and more meaningful. Through figurative language.

An example of antithesis can be seen in the sentence:

"Living and dying are the most natural things in the world."

You have not shown the text this question refers to. This prevents me from providing a specific answer, but I hope the information above can help you.

Is the United States becoming a big brother society? if so, what extent ? do you think it's just a conspiracy theory ?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

To some extent, all countries, including the United States, are becoming a kind of "big brother society." This is so because governments, at present and to a greater extent, monitor the movements of the country's citizens through different governmental control mechanisms, such as internal intelligence agencies, under the pretext of contributing to this. surveillance of national security. Thus, laws such as the Patriot Act have violated the privacy of citizens, and have guaranteed the government that it can control and monitor the different aspects of their lives. Therefore, the question of governmental control of the private life of citizens is not a myth or a conspiracy theory, but a fact.
