Question

which statements use the rhetorical device of parallelism? select two options.
□ \to be or not to be, that is the question.\
□ we came, we saw, we conquered.
□ \we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.\
□ \toto, i have a feeling were not in kansas anymore.\
□ this backpack weighs a ton.

Explanation:

1. For "We came, we saw, we conquered": It has a parallel structure with the repeated "we" followed by a verb in simple past tense (came, saw, conquered), creating parallelism.
2. For "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender": The phrase "we shall fight" is repeated with different prepositional phrases (on the beaches, on the landing grounds, etc.), showing parallelism.

The other options: "To be or not to be..." is a contrast but not parallelism in structure (uses "or" for alternative, not repeated parallel structure), "Toto, I have a feeling..." is a simple statement without parallelism, and "This backpack weighs a ton" is a hyperbole, not parallelism.

Answer:

B. We came, we saw, we conquered.
C. "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
