What most likely was the author’s purpose i using parallesim in the excerpt?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

By using parallelism in line 3, the author places importance on the concept of equality.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, parallelism is being used in line 3. This is because both phrases in line 3 have the same grammatical structure, and they both start with the word "equal" ("equal access, equal justice"). The most likely reason why the author decided to write this line in this way is because he wanted the reader to pay attention to the concept of equality.

As a "man speaking to men," Wordsworth believed the poet should write in a language easily understood by common
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

William Wordsworth (1770 – 1850) was an English Romantic poet. Samuel Taylor Coleridge and him published <em>Lyrical Ballads</em> in 1798, and thus began the Romantic Age in English literature.

In<em> "Preface" </em>to the <em>Lyrical Ballads</em>, Wordsworth discusses his view on poetry. He claims that pleasure in poetry occurs when language used is close to real speech. Good poetry, he argues, includes situations from real life that all people experience. Poetry should unite people regardless of their differences. Wordsworth also writes that a poet is ''a man speaking to men'', who possesses great knowledge about human nature.
