All of the quotes are examples of foreshadowing from "The Swimming Contest", by Benjamin Tammuz, except <em>"My Abdul-Karim is a fine, loyal man. Don't you tease him."</em> All the other quotes are foreshadowing what will happen later in the story. Foreshadowing is when an author gives the reader clues or suggestions that will happen later. Frequently, future events are merely hinted through dialogue, as in this case.
Answer:
A). "We take off our hats..."
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.
I belive the correct answers are: A and C
"Sweating in the heat, we had lost the whole day, dreading to be buried alive in the drifting sand."
"Sand in the scanty food, sand in the brackish water--water that was drunk lukewarm from a clammy, loathsome water skin."
