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

English
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 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.

Wilfred, age 75, has been suffering from cancer for 10 years. The pain associated with the cancer is severe and has become worse
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

If I were a state legislator I would be in favor of a law allowing assisted su1c1de. When it comes to ones life, it should be their choice when it should comes to an end, under the valid circumstances of course. One could ask what those circumstances could be, but as you can read here, Wilfred was an example of such. He was only painfully dragging his inevitable end, benefiting him in no way. Passing should be painless and peaceful. No one should have to suffer at the end of their only life. It's best, if one has a chronic or life threatening illness near impossible to conquer, one should be allowed to take control of their end, and surround themselves with loved ones, comfortable with their mortality, before letting go.
