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>.

Explanation:
Kipling's story titled 'The Crab that played with the Sea' primarily discusses the story of a crab and how it is changed from a huge animal to a tiny being through the flow of tides and ebb.
The above statement most clearly reflects the author's key reason for writing. The descriptions like 'picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand', 'waved them in his little arms', etc. reflect that the author aims to inform the readers about the consequences faced by Pau Amma(the monster crab) for causing problems in the sea. It also informs the readers that why crab was converted into a tiny creature from a huge animal. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
Since Britain first at Heaven's command
Arose from out the Azure Main,
Did ever o'er this jarring Land
A monarch with more firmness reign?
Then to the Natal Day we sing,
Of George our sacred friend and King
-from a song by American loyalist in honor of George III's birthday in 1777
The Romantic period is characterized by passion and emotion being more credible and trustworthy than logic and reason. Wordsworth defines poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" reflects Romanticism because it is full of feeling, not thinking. An Enlightenment definition would be something like "literary work expressing something using style and rhythm." This definition shows the importance of feelings over thinking for Wordsworth, and how reality doesn't matter in his style. Poetry was the form of choice because it lacks structure especially since most Romantics wrote in blank verse, completely devoid of structure. Poetry is meant to be an emotional art form without structure in blank verse, and Romantics preferred feeling, so lack of structure would remove an obstacle to really let emotions shine in their work.
