Nectar in a Sieve is about the changing socioeconomic milieu of a village located in Southern India. The novel portrays virtues in action. There are instances of faith,love and hope in Rukmani's life yet the greatest theme is hope. Nature can test the hope of human yet in the end nature does not grant the ultimate victory.

The figurative language is used to empower the themes, to emphasize certain thing and make the writing persuasive and strong about the idea that the author want to convey, for example in “Nectar in a Sieve” the drums are used to symbolize times of change just like when Ruku listens "drums of calamity" during the great storm in the village.

Marta_Voda [28]

     The answer would be C. By using parallel structure, Roosevelt emphasizes the challenge the country faces in transitioning from peacetime to wartime.

    The literary device parallelism is employed to emphasize how hard it is prepare for a wartime scenario. Parallelism is used mostly to provide emphasis in many moving passages and is efficient when trying to persuade or convince one's audience.

Example:

     It was dark because a new era was upon the nation. It was dark because change was coming. It was dark because the struggle had only begun.

     In this example, repeating the phrase "It was dark" places emphasis on the ominous tone of the prompt and allows the reader to feel the gravity of the situation.
