Explanation:
Repetition is elucidated as one of the most commonly employed literary devices that involves repetition of a similar words or phrases within an interval in order to clarify and highlight an idea to make it memorable.
In the given excerpt from the former United States' president Roosevelt's Union Address in 1943, the repetition of phrase 'we take off our hats..' to acknowledge the hard work and determination of farmers('who accomplished an unprecedented task...world'), men and women(whose loyal and untiring devotion to work and enduring stringencies), and all the other Americans who have contributed to accomplish the 'common cause' i.e. 'development of the nation as a whole. Thus, the <u>repetition of this phrase emphasizes the gratitude and recognition that Roosevelt aims to display towards the contribution made by these people</u>. Therefore, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Answer: D. True happiness is a lie without love.
Even though the Alchemist talks about the dreams and to to what it takes to follow them, The alchemist is also referring to Love as something important. In fact, according to the alchemist, without love in our lifes we are incomplete.
I believe that the sentence from this excerpt that shows such a metaphor is the following one - <u>This tower was a giant, standing with its back to the plight of the ants.</u>
We are the ants - we are completely insignificant before nature, and before fate itself, as, according to the naturalists, we cannot influence our own lives, but rather just wait to see what happens. We cannot change our fate - what's been decided for us is going to happen and there is nothing we can do about it.
