The rhetorical device that was used by Justice Harlan in the sentence provided is;

  • B. Alliteration

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same or similar sounding letters in a group of closely linked words. The initial consonant sounds are stressed in the usage of this device.

In the excerpt provided, we find here, the repetition of the consonant sound, 's'. This can be found in words such as; knows, statute, question, purpose, so, persons, etc.

The repetition of the 's' sound adds rhythm and emphasis to the speech.

I believe the answer is: "Resistance to civil government (Civil Disobedience)"


The main idea of the civil disobedience is to advocate the people to not ever let the government overrule their conscience .

He pointed Mexican–American War as one of the example because he perceived the war as an act of injustice for the people of Mexico.

Writing Conventions • Day 3- Is this a simple sentence or a fragment? If it is a fragment, tell what is missing and then make it
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Yes, it is a sentence fragment.

Explanation:

Sentence fragments are when sentences are missing information and don't fully express the information they are trying to show.

An example is "I water."

We don't know what that means because it is missing a word.

"I like water."

From the text, when was the car lost and found? Was something lost inside the car and found? So, it is a sentence fragment.

We can add an extra word in the sentence fragment to make it a full sentence. There are some different ways you can do this:

"The car <em>was </em>lost and found."

"The car lost <em>a wheel </em>and <em>was later</em> found.

You just have to add words to make it a complete thought and make sense.
