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

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.

In her poem "In a Queen's Domain," what does Platt seem to be Inferring about the world in these lines"
SOVA2 [1]

Platt seems to be inferring in the lines provided in the question that the world is not always perfect, which is a typical view of the Realist movement.

<h3>What is an inference?</h3>

An inference, or the act of inferring something, is a conclusion that we make based on information or observations. Here, we must analyze Platt's inference in the lines provided in the question.

The image of the hand creeping toward the dove's nest conveys a typical view of the Realist movement: the imperfection and even cruelty of the world. The dove represents innocence. She lives her life unaware that something bad, represented by the hand, is about the happen.

That implies that this world is unfair, evil, imperfect. Realism often uses the theme of the imperfection of the world, as Platt has done in those lines.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.

When he wrote the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson may not have recognized that it would be studied and admired by
saul85 [17]

Answer:Many students who feel that the Declaration is revered will probably note that Jefferson’s

statements regarding fundamental rights are representative of our government’s

foundation today. In addition, they may also note that the Declaration is displayed in

a similar manner (and in a similar location) as the Constitution of the United States and the

Bill of Rights, thereby giving it the same status. Other students may note that the

document helped unite various factions in the Continental Congress, paving the way for

independence.

Some students may note that in 21st Century America, the Declaration has no legal

“force,” and therefore while it is an important historic document, its importance is

significantly overstated.
