what english language techniques are in this quote from The Handmaids Tale. 'I almost gasp: he's said a forbidden word. Sterile.

There is no such thing as a sterile man anymore, not officially. There are only women who are fruitful and women who are barren, that's the law.'

Answer: Probably irony is being used, as well as repetition

Explanation: Irony may be used since the quotes states that the character is surprised that a man has become sterile. And repetition is used when the character keeps on repeating sterile multiple times giving emphasis to it.

Ahat [919]
1. In my opinion, the correct answer is C. anger. This phrase doesn't give the audience a reason to panic or despair, and it is far too strong to cause mere anticipation. It causes downright anger because, according to the speaker, the injustice continues in spite of all the efforts. This is an appeal to ethos, a very delicate matter that is supposed to engage the listeners, rather than just move them emotionally.

2. In my opinion, the correct answer is B. In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps. It is the only option that doesn't have a metaphor or some other trope. It simply tells us a fact about nonviolent campaigns. The other options have these tropes (non-literal meanings): "quicksand of racial injustice", "solid rock of human dignity"; "cup of endurance"; "abyss of injustice".

3. In my opinion, the correct answer is D. symbol. A symbol <span>is </span>a simple but universally understandable way to present abstract concepts. "Radiant stars" are the symbol of a great ideal that "shines" above all humanity - and that is equality fueled with love and brotherhood. Luther uses this symbol on purpose, as it adds a universal dimension to his speech, elevating it above the particular historical and political context.
