English

I don't see the passage, but the meaning of inept is

A clumsy, incompetent person — or an ineffective action — is inept. When you're inept, you don't know what you're doing or just can't get it done.

Someone inept is bumbling, clueless, and ineffective. Inept people are dumb or clueless; they don't understand things.

More than that, inept people are bad at what they do. An inept lawyer always loses cases.

An inept figure skater wipes out on the ice. An inept postal worker loses mail and puts it in the wrong box.

An inept person is downright bad at something. The opposite of inept is competent.

The passage from Lou Gehrig’s speech,farewell to baseball,contains which two rhetorical elements?
Whitepunk [10]

The correct answer is C.

In a periodic sentence the main clause is at the end. This is used for emphasis, by putting reasons for something at the beginning before the final point is made.

In his speech, Gehrig uses many periodic sentences to highlight how lucky he has been troughout his life.

An example of this rhetorical element is: "When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter -- that’s something."

An anaphora refers to the repetition of a word or phrase in successive clauses or phrases.

Gehrig repeats the phrase "Sure I'm lucky" to put extra emphasis in the fact that, even though he got a bad break, he has had a great deal of luck during his life.
