“I broke the locket with a thick brick.” What rhetorical device is being used in this sentence?

English

Answer:

B. Consonance

Explanation:

A is not right because alliteration is when the same first letter of words is used repeatedly. For example the slick snake slithered silently... often this is used for tongue twisters.

C is definitely not right because an Onomatopoeia is when you are using a word associated with a sound, like <em>bang</em> or <em>squeak</em> to name a few examples. There are no sounds in this sentence, therefore no onomatopoeias.

D is not right. Assonance is when the vowels of a series of words sound repetitive or similar. So in this case you have "with", "thick" and "brick" where the "i" in the words have a repetitive sound, however there are only three cases of this whereas there are 4 instances of B.

The answer is B because consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds, and you have 4 repetitive "k" sounds in this sentence. "bro<u>k</u>e" "lo<u>ck</u>et" "thi<u>ck</u>" and "bri<u>ck</u>". While you may be able to argue that D could work, there are more examples of B in this sentence.

What did the radio version of the war of the worlds do to ensure that the audience would understand it was fictional
valentinak56 [21]

There were opening announcements made at the beginning of the radio adaptation of H.G. Wells’s <em>The War of the Worlds,</em> but what they did not anticipate is that the listeners who tuned in half-way through the radio play would have no idea that it was only a dramatization and would believe the news-like structure which understandably caused them distress.

The production team made lots of revisions, slowing down the pace of the first act, deleting some crucial scenes that would be tell-tale signs of a fictional work, and all this contributed to panic that ensued. The following day, there was a press conference held to clear all of it up.

In 300 words or less, explain how ancient Greek Drama is different from our contemporary experience at the movies or at the thea
uranmaximum [27]
<span>There are many differences. Greek theater had a chorus, which sang and likely danced. The arrangement of the stage was completely different, featuring a single building with a large entrance on to the stage, a crane to bring divine characters in on a higher level, a dancing area for the chorus, and so on. Actors were all male and performed in masks; there were few actors available for the playwright's use (two or later three could be on stage at a time). Plays were put on at civic/religious festivals, not as standalone productions, and cycles of four plays (three tragedies and a comic satyr play) by the same author were performed. The list could go on for a while.</span>
