English
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]2 years ago
4 0

<u>Explanation:</u>

For example, in his memoir, Trevor describes his mother (Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah) as a devout black Christian who often prays and goes to church, she is also a bold woman considering the fact that she was determined to become a secretary even that weren't available for black women at the time.

Robert, Trevor's biological white father also showed some act of courage when he helped Patricia (Trevor's mother) rent a room in a white neighborhood, he even opened a restaurant that once welcomed people of different races.

In a sense, both of Trevor's parents are <u>interconnected in their personality,</u> since they had the moral strength to go against all odds in showing love to not just their son, but to their entire community when doing so was considered a crime by many.

Identify the italicized figure of speech.
Usimov [2.4K]
You didn't italicize any words, so I will just try to explain the figures of speech you have listed above, and hopefully that will help you.

1. hyperbole - this is exaggeration. For example, 'I waited for him for a hundred years' to denote you had to wait for someone for a longer period of time. You didn't really wait for him for a hundred years - it is an exaggeration. Poets and writers often use this figure of speech in order to make a statement, and impact on the reader. I can't see examples of hyperbole in this excerpt, so I wouldn't choose that as the correct option here.

2. paradox - paradox is a figure of speech in which you combine two things which are opposite from each other in nature. It creates an absurd phrase because two contradictory statements are brought together, such as 'drinking a lot of water can make you thirsty.' I can see an example of paradox in the excerpt above, which is "day brought back my night." Day and night are each other's opposites, which makes a paradox if they are brought together like this. 

3. understatement - this is a figure of speech which authors use when they want to make something appear to have a lesser value than it actually has; when they want to demean something as being less important that what it seems. An example of an understatement would be the following - you get a lot of money at a lottery, and when asked how you feel about it, you say 'I'm happy.' You would obviously feel much stronger emotions if this happened. I don't see instances of understatement here either.

I would choose paradox as the correct answer here.
