Here is an example of a eulogy for a dying river:
Let us remember that all things come to an end even the most beautiful and useful of things, like this river. You were once the most beautiful and useful of things to both living and nonliving things. You provided the fish a place to grow and live and the plants the water to survive. You helped form the clouds and cool the forest. But now it's over, you flow no more but our tears do. You may be dying but you will live through the animals and plants you've helped and the rain you've provided.
I think the most likely reason Churchill regularly brougth up negative details about the war is:
A. He wants Britain to have realistic expectations about the future.
As a great strategist, Churchill focused on the evidence given by other battles, like the German victory in France, to learn from his enemy. By lying to his people, british army would not be prepared for the battles coming and wold be defeated. Some generals in World War II believed that war would be fougth like World War I, they were not based on any evidence, and were eventually surprised by the new tactics the German developed (like the Blitzkrieg).
Churchill was able to make alliances with the United States and the URSS, so letter B. seems incorrect.
History made clear that Churchill was a great leader that never gave up so letter C. seems incorrect too.
By giving negative details abaout war Germany wouldn't think Britain is weak so letter D is incorrect.
1. <span>A. strength
The simile that likens his shoulders to a full sail shows the force that must be exerted to plough the field. A "globed" sail would be rounded because of the powerful winds blowing against it. Just as the wind's, resistance is transformed into something useful by moving the boat forwards; his father's exertion transforms the land into fields that grow crops of food. While ploughing the land in this way would certainly require knowledge and skill, the simile does not refer to these qualities.
2. </span><span>D. "Mapping the furrow exactly"
</span>
Reference to the father's expertise is indicated by his "mapping the furrow" and doing so "exactly."
The language must be appropriate to the audience and should use the terms that are most current and ordinary. Using fancy language is not ordinary, and any kind of unfamiliarity can be seen as suspicious.
