Simile

A simile is a comparison between two different things using like or as. In this the Air Force is being compared to eagles using the word like.

An understatement is a statement about the quality or condition of something that is actually less than it actually is. For example, "That car could use a day with the mechanic." In actuality, the car is so destroyed it probably needs to be considered a total loss and go to the junkyard. Rhetoric is persuasive speaking or writing. A hyperbole is an over exaggeration.

nignag [31]

Answer:

nyksl Ambitious

The right answe is "A. He had a speech impediment, so he was worried he would be perceived as weak and unable to win a war."

Often the image that reaches us of great leaders does not show all the nature and personal characteristics behind the figure of leader. George VI possessed a characteristic that was remarkable during all his personal life and that was the main guide line of the film "The Discourse of the King". It is the stammering that persecuted the monarch from the tender age of 4 and that was reason of many difficulties for the King.

Upon his brother's abdication and the decision to take the throne, George VI was forced to face this problem and deal with it throughout his reign. With much training, persistence and courage, the monarch faced this difficulty, worked on his speeches, kept the morale of the population on the rise and became a symbol of British resilience.
