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

English

Aloiza [94]2 years ago

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.

Answer:

✔️C. subjective because it is influenced by feelings or opinions

Explanation:

The statement "Swift's skillful and abundant use of false premises to develop his argument was the most effective way to signal that he was writing a satire." is subjective because it is influenced by feelings or opinions.

Subjective statements are not factual and are expressions of one's opinion, belief, or personal preference. It actually reflects the perspective of the writer or speaker and cannot be verified using concrete facts.

The above statement only gives the writer's opinion and not the fact.
