Read the first verse of "the solitary reaper" by william wordsworth and answer the question that follows.

"behold her, single in the field,
yon solitary highland lass!
reaping and singing by herself;
stop here, or gently pass!
alone she cuts and binds the grain,
and sings a melancholy strain;
o listen! for the vale profound
is overflowing with the sound."

A. Repetition.

Explanation:

"The Solitary Reaper" is the poem written by William Wordsworth, published first in 1807. The poem is about a beautiful girl reaping and singing in the fields of Scotland, all by herself.

The given excerpt is the first stanza of the poem, introducing the readers with a girl reaping on a field. The poet urges its readers either to stay and see her reaping, or leave without disturbing her.

The poet has used words such as 'single', 'solitary', 'by herself', and 'alone', all these words have same meaning. The rhetorical device used by Wordsworth in so doing is 'repetition'.

Repetition is the rhetorical device used by the writer to create an emphasis of certain words or phrase by using it in repetitive manner..

So, the correct answer is repetition.

i used to know but i learned it a long time ago sorry

explanation:

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
