Which sentence is an example of the use of antithesis as a rhetorical device? there remains, of course, the danger of bombing attacks, which will certainly be made very soon upon us by the bomber forces of the enemy. it is true that the german bomber force is superior in numbers to ours; but we have a very large bomber force also, which we shall use to strike at military targets in germany without intermission. i do not at all underrate the severity of the ordeal which lies before us; but i believe our countrymen will show themselves capable of standing up to it, like the brave men of barcelona, and will be able to stand up to it, and carry on in spite of it, at least as well as any other people in the world. much will depend upon this; every man and every woman will have the chance to show the finest qualities of their race, and render the highest service to their cause. for all of us, at this time, whatever our sphere, our station, our occupation or our duties, it will be a to remember the famous lines: he nothing common did or mean, upon that memorable scene. i have thought it right upon this occasion to give the house and the country some indication of the solid, practical grounds upon which we base our inflexible resolve to continue the war. there are a good many people who say, "never mind. win or lose, sink or swim, better die than submit to tyranny-and such a tyranny." and i do not dissociate myself from them. but i can assure them that our professional advisers of the three services unitedly advise that we should carry on the war, and that there are good and reasonable hopes of final victory. we have fully informed and consulted all the self-governing dominions, these great communities far beyond the oceans who have been built up on our laws and on our civilization, and who are absolutely free to choose their course, but are absolutely devoted to the ancient motherland, and who feel themselves inspired by the same emotions which lead me to stake our all upon duty and honor.
