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

Commons in 1940. During the first four years of the last war the Allies experienced nothing but disaster and disappointment. That was our constant fear: one blow after another, terrible losses, frightful dangers. Everything miscarried. And yet at the end of those four years the morale of the Allies was higher than that of the Germans, who had moved from one aggressive triumph to another, and who stood everywhere triumphant invaders of the lands into which they had broken. The rhetorical technique used in this excerpt is shift. understatement. logos. parallelism.

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.

Read the following passage from Act I, scene ii of The Tempest, in which Prospero explains to Miranda how Antonio usurped him.
Iteru [2.4K]

"The Tempest" is considered a revenge tragedy. The usurpation of Prospero's dukedom from Antonio, his own beloved brother, is an indication of his distemper. Words that can create a tone of reproach and melancholy for the past are: "evil nature", falsehood", "perfidious" which are attributed to the dishonest brother. Miranda appears to live in a dream place where corruption and malevolence do not exist. However, Prospero's negative attitue towards Antonio expresses that there is evil in human nature and it can even come from close acquaintances and family.
