Answer:

  • irony  
  • foreshadowing  
  • metonymy

Explanation:

These plates show the literary devices: irony, foreshadowing and metominia. Which can be explained as follows:

Irony is the use of words with a different or opposite sense of the more common meaning. It is a figure of speech that makes a humorous contradiction to what is meant.

Foreshadowing is the use of words that characterize an advertisement or prognosis, which predicts an event or announces its accomplishment by means of clues.

Last but not least, metomynia is the rhetorical figure that consists of the use of a word outside its normal semantic context, having a meaning that has an objective, contiguous, material or conceptual relationship with the content or referent occasionally thought out.

krok68 [10]
I would say the correct answer is C. <span>“I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like / the same things other folks like who are other races.” In my opinion, this is the most important line about race because it expresses Hughes' view that being colored doesn't prevent us from having a bond with people of other races. However, it still means being different - he mentions it at the beginning of the line, as a distinct feature that is the basis of white people's prejudices toward him and other colored people.</span>

Which of the following may be used as counterarguments against the argument that nature can repair all things? Check all of the
Ierofanga [76]

The death of a loved one is a disaster that nature cannot heal.

Answer: A

Explanation

Nature will not heal that wound that is left after losing a loved one.

Even though nature creates fascinating patterns, it will not close the wound left.

However, time will be the determinant of the healing process.

This is because the effect of losing someone is eternal, and it is time that will heal the wounds.

Ultimately, nature will only create shorter healing, but once the one forgets about life, the injuries will be still fresh.

Therefore nature does not repair everything.
