Idk I thinks means she wants to dye her hair

Answer:

It's referring to dye as in color dye.

Explanation:

She saw her first grey hair, which is not her natural color I'm assuming. So when she said she thought "she'd dye" the pun is referring to "dye" as in, "dye your hair". The phrase has two meanings to it, she thinks she will die, literally, but also there's a pun because her hair changed color so "dye" as in a color dye.

AUTHOR'S STYLE RHETORICAL DEVICES A. DIRECTIONS: Identify four rhetorical devices in this excerpt from a persuasive speech. Expl
Marianna [84]

Answer:

A

1. Parallelism

2. Anaphora

3. Alliteration

4. Epiphora

B

1. To get ahead, a person needs to have good goals, study hard and plan well for the future.

2. The professor needs to either publish more books or work with his students.

3. She is having good days, bad days, long days and short days.

4. Hike the Appalachian Trail is exploring the Panama Canal and the Mississippi ford.

Explanation:

I have been able to show the four rhetorical devices used in the given passage.

Parallelism is the use of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. We see it in the line: "We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: <em>the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman</em>."

Anaphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase in a sentence at the beginning of successive classes.

It is seen in the line:  "It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty."

Alliteration is the rhetorical device that repeats the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that adjacent or closely connected.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Epiphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase at the end of  successive clauses.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, <em>you must vote</em>. If you believe that your country can be better, <em>you must vote</em>."
