“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 is going on in scene 2 act 1 of macbeth?
beks73 [17]
Duncan (the King of Scotland), his two sons (Malcolm and Donalbain), and Lennox (a Scottish nobleman) hang out with their attendants at a military camp in Scotland.
Lost? Check out this nifty map of major locations in the play.
King Duncan's forces have been busy fighting against the King of Norway and the traitor, Macdonwald.
A wounded Captain arrives, fresh from the field, where he fought to help Duncan's son, Malcolm, escape capture. What's the news?
Well, says the Captain, the battle was going south fast until brave Macbeth fought through the "swarm" of enemy soldiers and disemboweled the traitorous Macdonwald.
There's some gab about Macbeth's great courage in the face of seemingly impossible adversity and the Captain continues his story: after Macbeth spilled Macdonwald's guts all over the ground, the battle flared up again when the "Norwegian Lord" brought new men to the field, but even this didn't daunt Macbeth and Banquo, who just redoubled their efforts.
Oh, but could someone get the Captain a surgeon? He's kind of bleeding all over the place.
The Thane of Ross arrives from another battle, where Macbeth was also kicking serious butt. Sweno, Norway's king, is not allowed to bury his men until he hands over ten thousand dollars to the Scots.
Duncan then proclaims the traitorous Thane of Cawdor will be executed, and Macbeth, responsible for the victory, shall have his title.
Ross is sent to announce the news to Macbeth.
