Answer:
In this excerpt, Reagan uses:
C. allusion to give his speech more authority.
Explanation:
Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone. It is common for the author or speaker to not explain much, since he assumes the audience knows to whom or what he refers.
<u>In this particular case, President Reagan used allusion with the purpose of conferring his speech more authority. The Bible is a well-known book, even in countries where Christianity is not prevalent. In the U.S., a country largely constituted of Christians, alluding to the Bible is a way to immediately inspire respect and evoke obedience. Therefore, mentioning the wisdom "contained in the book of Genesis in the Bible" helps Reagan's speech sound more authoritative, more worthy of respect</u>.
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "that the main characters in the myths interact with powerful beings." In Rain Myths, the titles of the two myths imply about them is that the main characters in the myths interact with powerful beings
When I think of Gothic, I don't think of anything positive, so A would definitely not be it. The same thing with B. Anything with beautiful, sparkling, bright and colourful things just doesn't scream goth.
For C, I could see where it would be going with using a jail yard as a setting, but since the answer specifically says on a sunny afternoon, then I don't think that would be correct either. When people think sunny, they usually think happy.
I think D would be most accurate. It doesn't seem like it would have any positive attributes, and it would probably even make some people uneasy.
So yeah, I'm not 100% sure, but this is the best I can do to figure it out. I think D would be the best choice! :)
