How does churchill use rhetoric to advance his purpose in this section of "the sinews of peace"? a churchill employs a metaphor that compares atomic weapons to shields, thereby supporting his assertion that the united states and other western democracies only developed atomic weapons to defend themselves. b churchill uses a metaphor that compares the defunct league of nations to the tower of babel, thereby suggesting that past attempts to bring diverse cultures and nations together were foolish and destructive. c churchill employs a metaphor that compares the world's future to a path that leads to one of two destinations, war or peace, in order to insist that its leaders bring their people in the proper direction. d churchill uses a metaphor that compares the newly formed united nations to a temple, thereby strengthening his argument that the un's mission to secure peace and maintain freedom is a moral and ethical one that must be supported. heres the paragraph a world organisation has already been erected for the prime purpose of preventing war, uno, the successor of the league of nations, with the decisive addition of the united states and all that that means, is already at work. we must make sure that its work is fruitful, that it is a reality and not a sham, that it is a force for action, and not merely a frothing of words, that it is a true temple of peace in which the shields of many nations can some day be hung up, and not merely a cockpit in the tower of babel. before we cast away the solid assurances of national armaments for self-preservation we must be certain that our temple is built, not upon shifting sands or quagmires, but upon rock. anyone can see with his eyes open that our path will be difficult and also long, but if we persevere together as we did in the two world wars—though not, alas, in the interval between them—i cannot doubt that we shall achieve our common purpose in the end. if you can explain why it is that answer so i understand and dont just receive the answer. you
