Answer:

B. "Cold comforts set between us, things to share."

Explanation:

The correct answers, which is letter 'b', best describes their current emotional situation between son and mother, the 'clean water' for instance, represents something for them to be happy about, nevertheless, the "cold comforts" is a little reward for what they both suffer.  The first option, letter A, refers to the idea of him wishing for, 'soldering' literally means to join two pieces of metal together, so this allows to understand that this was not a connection, but a wish. As for the last two options, means that even at his mother’s death, the son keeps alive this special relationship in an ambiance  of sadness.

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.

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.

mario62 [17]

The rhetorical devices that President Trump uses in this excerpt are options 3 and 5.

Trump uses overstatement in sentence number 5.

Overstatement is saying something to lay emphasis or give a profound meaning, as to make the point more important than it is. As a result, Trump uses overstatement when he puts emphasis on the word America.

Moreover, he uses repetition in sentences number 6 and 7.

Repetition is a rhetorical device in which the person repeats the same word or phrases several times, to make the idea more concrete or memorable. This device appears when Trump uses the word "protect" multiple times in his speech.
