5 0

Answer:

The rhetorical device used by Douglass in this quote is IRONY.

Explanation:

IRONY is a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning.

In this case, if being a slave was bad, it was even worse to be a slave of a poor man (Colonel Lloyd).

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

B. Flying above the world makes people realize how small humans truly are.

Explanation:

The poem you are referring to is Window Seat by Molly McGinnis

The theme of the poem could be best identified as flying above the world makes people realize how small humans truly are.

The speaker viewed people as tiny bodies of light pushing slowly down the mountain roads from his flight flying above the world on his way back to Washington.

WINDOW SEAT

by Molly McGinnis

On my flight back to Washington at 4 am

in air marbled by night and snow

I leaned against the oval glass and saw

tiny bodies of light pushing slowly

down the mountain roads, each sphere

its own life full of sideways winds.

The flight attendant was humming

a movie score, pouring the coffee into paper cups.

I was thinking that every story I have

ever written in my head

has been about going home

when the student in the aisle seat tapped my shoulder

and said I do not want you to worry but do you mind

if I pray

while thirty thousand feet beneath his question

people plowed through a snowstorm hardly stopping

to ask for permission. As he whispered

in Arabic I imagined the white flurries

breezing into the sand gusts outside my old house

in the desert and pretended I could understand

while cars floated through the chalkboard dark

like prayers released from airplanes

granted sudden phosphorescence and instructed

not to drift upward, but to address

the stranger.

N76 [4]

Answer:

The message Huck finds inside the Bible that Sophia Grangerford has asked him to retrieve from the church is an example of understatement

Explanation:

An understatement is a phrase that describes something as not important or that reduces the importance of an event or information, then the little paper that says “Half-past two” seems to have no importance to Huck but later he discovered that it was a big deal in fact since the events that happened because of that paper really disturbed him.
