Answer: A) It reinforces the idea of the United Nations’ strength and power.

Repetition is often used as a rhetorical device in order to emphasize an idea. It can also be used to provide more weight to a particular topic or to leave a long-lasting image in the listener's mind. In this case, the idea that Roosevelt is trying to emphasize is that the United Nations will strike again, because of its strength and power. By repeating the word "strike," he is making sure that the listener understands the extent of this promise and the power of the UN.

Behold, it was Sandra Gabriel who happens to be my classmate that was assaulting a frail-looking male junior student and taunting him. I tried to step in and stop the assault but because of the thickness of the crowd, I was unable to, and unfortunately, the crowd was having fun and no one wanted to stop the madness.

In three to the four sentence explain how repetition affects the story told in this part of Gilgamesh
seropon [69]
Here is what i know hope it helps. repetition is a frequent technique the author used in the Epic of Gilgamesh, as is the theme of duality. Repetition reinforces themes present in the story, or attributes of a character. Sometimes repetition can also draw contrasts between different events or characters. Besides reinforcing elements in the story, repetition also suggests that these stories may have had a strong oral tradition and were largely passed down in this manner before being committed to these tablets.

One way an author uses direct characterization is by telling the reader about the character through
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Direct characterization is when the narrator tells you about the traits of the character. For example, the small petty miser counted the money five times to be sure that it was all there. In this example, the narrator directly says that the character is small, petty and miserly. It does not need to be inferred using the rest of the sentence. Indirect characterization is when the author shows the character's traits through the character's speech, thoughts, effects on others, actions, and looks
