Answer:

A. Parallelism.

Explanation:

A rhetorical technique is the use of language by writers in such a way to make their stories or texts more persuasive and enhance the arguments or more color. These techniques include alliteration, repetition, imagery, parallelism, personification, etc. among others.

In the given passage from John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wr ath", the writer used the rhetorical technique of parallelism. Parallelism is when there is a form of repetition, similarity in the structure, and use of certain words in the sentence.

The use of <em>"a tw itch in the controls"</em>, <em>"could not tw itch because the m o ns ter that built the tractor"</em>,<em> "the mo n st er that sent the tractor"</em>, <em>"go ogled him and mu z z led him- go og led his mind, mu zzl ed his speech, go o gled his perception, mu z zl ed his protest"</em> are all forms of parallelism in the passage.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Give a VERY brief synopsis/ summary of the stave. Include one evidence from stave one to show that you have captured an importan
Luden [163]

Answer:

In stave 1, when people asking for donations for the poor, Scrooge said that they should just send the people to workhouses and prisons if they are in debt. When the men said that some would rather die than go to workhouses and prisons, he said that they should just go and die and reduce the surplus population. He also refuses to come to his nephew's Christmas party, chases away a caroler boy, and abuses Bob Cratchit. Jacob Marley, who has been dead for like 7 years, comes to him, and says that 3 ghosts will come to him, in hopes that he will change becuase he doesn't want him to suffer the same fate that he himself did. however once ghosts come to him, he changes, and gives a large check to the donation men, raises Bob Cratchit's pay, and becomes a nice guy, showing that he did indeed change, because the Scrooge that was in stave one would never get near a check that has a word relating to charity on it.

Explanation:

I did not copy or paste, I just had to read the book and take a bunch of comprehenshion checks on it.

My deepest condolences that you have to read a book as boring as that.

I hope this helped you.
