Read this excerpt from the speech "Cause of the Great War" delivered by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George after World War I. Which statement accurately describes the use of rhetorical devices in this excerpt? We begged Germany not to attack Belgium, and produced a treaty, signed by the King of Prussia, as well as the King of England, pledging himself to protect Belgium against an invader, and we said, "If you invade Belgium we shall have no alternative but to defend it." The enemy invaded Belgium, and now they say, "Why, forsooth, you, England, provoked this war." It is not quite the story of the wolf and the lamb. I will tell you why —because Germany expected to find a lamb and found a lion.

B: The writer uses climax to tell the audience that England suffered a lot of casualties.
C: The writer uses antithesis to tell the audience that Germany is a major threat to England.
D: The writer uses metaphor to tell the audience that England will defeat Germany in the war.

What can we learn from the play "Everyman"?

As one might expect from a morality play, Everyman has a very clear moral that is delivered at the play's beginning, middle, and end. The message is straightforward and unabashedly religious: earthly delights are fleeting.

Only through God's favor and through good actions can one be saved. The drama serves as an allegory for the life of the average person, who represents all of humanity. Everyman strives to get others to follow him throughout the action in the hopes of improving his life.
