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>.
In the story called, “The Monkey’s Paw,” the author, W.W Jacobs, uses foreshadowing to add suspense. When Mrs. White asks Sergeant Major if any one else made a wish he says, “Yes. I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death." The author also uses foreshadowing when Mrs. White jokes and says to wish for four arms Sergeant Major "with a look of alarm on his face," catches Mr. White's arm. 'If you must wish,' he said gruffly, 'wish for something sensible.'" Foreshadowing is also used when Sergeant Major is telling his feelings about the monkey’s paw. It states, “‘Pitch it on the fire again like a sensible man.’” Here he is warning Me. White of the consequences if he makes a wish. From this dialogue I readers can infer that something bad is going to happen.
Again and again the universality of human experience is stressed within the play. The Stage Manager himself is more than just a chorus; he is a universal figure outside of time and space because he can talk to the audience, the characters in the play, and even the dead in the cemetery. The storyline in the play has a very large universality. When people read or watch Our Town, they'll realize that this play could have happened anywhere, in any time, to any one of us.
