The rhetorical strategy that Thomas Paine most clearly is using in the given line above is parallelism. The correct answer is option C. Parallelism is common in poetry and literature. It is the use of grammatical components in a sentence with the same sound, meter, meaning and construction. In the given line above, the construction of both sentences is the same, as well as the use of the words "will be" plus the -ing form of the verb.
Good morning!
<span>A.
They thought a monarchy was the best form of government. </span>
As one of the richest families in the world for a long time, the Medici were the most powerful in Florence and governed politically and socially in the region. They were art patrons and held one of the largest banks in Europe.
They did not, however, understand monarchy as the best form of government.
Hugs!
They ask the priest to sprinkle holy water on the grave so the old man’s spirit will make it rain.
When the priest is asked to home to the burial with the holy water, the priest initially refuses since the family did not ask him to say the funeral rites or have Mass. Leon, who comes to get the priest says, "we just want him to have plenty of water." Then the last line of the story says, "he was happy about the sprinkling of the holy water; now the old man could send them big thunderclouds for sure." From this we can infer that the people expect Teofilo to make it rain now that he has died. This also connects with the title of the story.
