The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. which rhetorical device does thomas paine use in this excerpt from the american crisis?

simile
metaphor
parallelism
personification

C) Parallelism.

Explanation: parallelism is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the grammatical structure of different words or phrases in a sentence or paragraph, in order to emphasize an idea or to create an impact in the audience. In the given excerpt we can see an example of the use of parallelism, because it repeats the use of pair of words with contrary meaning (the far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor).

question: select the word from the list that best fits the definition tables and charts comparing the government from five different states.

answer: appendix

hope this , and have a great day. c;

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
