Marianna [84]

4. Epiphora

B

1. To get ahead, a person needs to have good goals, study hard and plan well for the future.

3. She is having good days, bad days, long days and short days.

4. Hike the Appalachian Trail is exploring the Panama Canal and the Mississippi ford.

Explanation:

I have been able to show the four rhetorical devices used in the given passage.

Parallelism is the use of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. We see it in the line: "We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: <em>the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman</em>."

Anaphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase in a sentence at the beginning of successive classes.

It is seen in the line:  "It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty."

Alliteration is the rhetorical device that repeats the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that adjacent or closely connected.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Epiphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase at the end of  successive clauses.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, <em>you must vote</em>. If you believe that your country can be better, <em>you must vote</em>."

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Option A: The sentence opens passage with a powerful and dramatic fact that arrests the reader's attention

Explanation:

Opening the passage with such a powerful description of a fact and personifying wildfires is dramatic which arrests the reader's attention leading him/her to read and know more about the facts.

Option B and D are totally incorrect as there is no mention of drones in this sentence.

Option C is also incorrect because the writer has not asked a rhetoric question from the reader. The writer has just described a fact.

1. Does the poem exhibit the speaker's love for her father or her hatred of him? Explain. 2. What type of man does the speaker m
kkurt [141]

Answers:

1. The poem exhibits the speaker's hatred for the father: Lines 6, 7, 41 revealed that she had wanted to kill her father and was always scared of him. She won't want to kill someone she loved. So, the poem depicted hatred for the father. In lines 1-4 the poet compares herself to a foot that was stuck in her father's black shoe. She makes use of this imagery to imply and explain how she has been crushed by her father emotionally for 30 years.

2. She married a man who was just like her father. She termed the man - a vampire who made her to suffer for seven years. The man brought back the memories of what she passed through in the hands of her father.

3. She characterized them as vampires.The "Daddy" of the last line refers to her father as a "b***". At the close of the poem, she decides to stop chasing her father.

4. The title "Daddy" possesses an intimate and loving emotional connection, a father-daughter association. But that kind of association was contradicted in the poem but rather depicted a tyrant father.

5. No! This is because the poem didn't depict any form of forgiveness. It was written out of a battered, bruised and betrayed heart and didn't depict the need for true forgiveness.

Explanation:

“Daddy”, a poem written by Sylvia Plath. Plath was a famous American poet and novelist who wrote ‘Daddy’, a very famous literary piece. This poem speaks about her father and her ordeal in his hands.  It also presents the speaker’s grief over the loss of her father. It was first published in 1965.
