Read the paragraph. Each year, though different, is also the same. In spring, the sun comes out, green things begin to shoot up

from the brown soil, and people begin to smile again. In summer, the days are long, the gardens are a riot of color, and people are relaxed and casual. In fall, the days shorten, the leaves turn and start to fall, and people welcome the warmth of a pullover and a jacket. In winter, the nights are long, the trees are bare, and people shiver, longing for the sun. How does the use of parallelism enhance the paragraph? It creates an ironic tone through repetition. It emphasizes the cyclical nature of the year. It makes the text seem more orderly and scientific. It calls attention to similarities between the seasons.

Answer:

It emphasizes the cyclical nature of the year.

Explanation:

What the author is conveying through the text is not that each year is exactly the same, but that, while seasons make the year slightly different depending on the period, the things that happen are very similar.

To show this point, the author compares what happens each season with people, with vegetation, and with the day/night cycle. While they change, they are not so different in reality, and are cyclical in nature.

Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World starts with an introduction to a state in which the authorities try to control society by
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The idea of controlling humans through biological engineering is an example of

B) dystopian

context with an extreme form of state control. Such a context fits in the genre of science fiction because

B) depends on technology to create the world.

Explanation:

Dystopian literature came as a response to utopian fiction. While a utopia concerns the perfect world, dystopian settings present lack of humanity, excessive control and violence, often justified by the government as being the means to achieve the greater good. That is the type of reality presented in "Brave New World". Human beings are no longer free to choose. They are no longer free to even be born. They are created in labs, where their function in life is already predetermined. Some are created to be highly intelligent while others are meant to be slow in order to perform menial jobs.

This is a perfect fit for the science-fiction genre. This type of genre relies heavily in the possible destructive influence of technology over our lives. The story is often set in the future, when a much more advanced society depends completely on technology to function and survive. In "Brave New World", control comes through technology. It is the means to create as well as destroy life.

What rhetorical features stood out most to you in the excerpt from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address? How does Kenne
lara31 [8.8K]

John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address contains many rhetorical features.  Parallel structure is a technique which entail a repetition of some words or pattern of words. This stylistic device not only offers a more pleasant speech but also makes the speech easy to understand and get the main idea.  

Example:” "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall <u>pay any price</u>, <u>bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty</u>.” In this particular excerpt, there is the repetition of grammatical structure: Verb + any+ object.

In his speech, there are other rhetorical devices. In the following example it is possible to recognize the use of Metaphor and Alliteration. Metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to describe someone, something or an idea using certain words whose meaning must not be taken literally. It helps to deliver a message in a clear and convincing manner. Alliteration enhances greatly the amusement of the speech as it consists of a lively repetition of the initial sound of words in a passage and It helps to convey meaning in a creative, effective and appealing manner. Besides, it provides rhythm to the text .

Example: “Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that t<u>he torch has been passed</u> to a new generation of Americans, born in this century,”  

This sentence gives the idea that a new era and a new movement towards a better future in America (metaphor) and  there is the repetition of the "f" sound (alliteration)
