Question

Which statements are true of both monologues? Select three options.

The speaker uses sarcasm.
The speaker uses repetition.
The speaker uses imagery.
The speaker uses humor.
The speaker uses parallelism.

Answer 1

I don’t have the two monologues — could you paste them (or tell me where they’re from)? I need the texts to decide which three options apply.

If you can’t paste them, here’s a quick checklist you can use to identify each device yourself:

- Sarcasm: the speaker says the opposite of what they mean, often with a mocking or bitter tone; look for ironic statements that criticize while pretending to praise.
- Repetition: obvious repeated words, phrases, or lines used for emphasis.
- Imagery: sensory language (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste) or vivid descriptions that create mental pictures.
- Humor: jokes, comic timing, witty lines, self-deprecation, or language meant to make the audience laugh.
- Parallelism: repeated grammatical structures (e.g., “We will fight, we will stand, we will never yield”).

If you paste the monologues I’ll mark which three devices are present in both and show the supporting lines.
