Read the excerpt from Prime Minister Winston Churchill's "Their Finest Hour" speech, delivered to the United Kingdom’s House of
uysha [10]

The correct answer is SHIFT.

In this excerpt, Churchill moves (or shifts) from speaking about the first four years of the last war (which were filled with "disaster and disappointment") to speaking about the morale of the Allies (which was high despite disappointment).

Churchill is not using understatement, which is describing something as smaller than it really is here. He is also not using logos, because he is not providing a logical argument to explain why the Allies would have such high morale despite disappointment. Finally, he is not using parallelism, because these ideas are all phrased differently.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

A). The haiku shares a distinct event in nature, while the romantic poem relays a personal experience with nature.

Explanation:

While Coleridge in "Frost at Midnight" demonstrates a personal experience with nature. In his poem(lines 52-59), he describes his son wandering the natural imagery that assists him to find a meaning that nature always mirrors the truth as describes nature as a preacher of significant lessons of life. The other options seem incorrect as in option B, the first phrase is correct but Coleridge has written this poem in blank verse that is free of metrical fardels while the other  two options reflect an inappropriate claim.
