read the excerpt. then choose the correct way to complete the sentence.
in this conclusion to his speech, britain prime minister winston churchill used
repetition and parallel structure to emphasize of britain’s determination to win the war
figurative language to illustrate the size and capability of the british and french forces
antithesis to praise the british forces for showing courage in their battles
expert testimony to remind the audience that no place is safe in the face of war

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze Churchill's speech conclusion (even without the excerpt, we recall his rhetorical style):

• Option 1: repetition and parallel structure to emphasize Britain’s determination to win the war – Churchill often used repetition/parallelism (e.g., “We shall fight on the beaches...”) to stress resolve.
• Option 2: figurative language to illustrate size/capability of British/French forces – His conclusion likely focused on determination, not force size via figurative language.
• Option 3: antithesis to praise British forces for courage – Antithesis (contrast) is less central to his conclusion’s purpose than emphasizing determination.
• Option 4: expert testimony to remind no place is safe – He didn’t use expert testimony; the focus was on resolve, not safety warnings.

Churchill’s speech conclusions (e.g., “We shall fight...” speeches) rely on repetition/parallelism to emphasize unwavering determination to win. Other options misalign with his rhetorical goals or methods.

Answer:

repetition and parallel structure to emphasize of Britain’s determination to win the war
