Question

1. many people hesitate to go to a counselor to seek assistance with their problems. if many adults do that, one cannot expect school - age kids will readily talk to their guidance counselors. adults need to revise their thinking about seeking counseling so kids will readily talk to a counselor. these are some reasons various people lack interest or courage to seek counseling.
2. friends

many say they would rather talk to their friends or family about the problems. however, they are not trained listeners who can offer support, objective advice or guidance. counselors also challenge ones way of thinking to approach a problem in a new way and loved ones cant always do that. besides, family members or friends may not have time to talk about problems all the time.

1. time

like anything people dont want to do, they blame not going counseling on lack of time. people find the time for going to the doctor when they are unwell. similarly, people should find the time to talk to a counselor to work through their heavy and recurring problems.
which best describes the rhetorical device used in paragraph 3?
a comparison
b rhetorical question
c repetition
d direct address

Explanation:

To determine the rhetorical device in paragraph 3, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Comparison. Paragraph 3 compares people finding time to see a doctor when unwell to finding time to see a counselor for problems. This is a clear comparison (using "Similarly" to draw the parallel).
• Option B: A rhetorical question is a question asked for effect, not to get an answer. Paragraph 3 has no questions.
• Option C: Repetition involves repeating words or phrases, which is not seen here.
• Option D: Direct address uses "you" or similar to address the reader, which is absent.

Answer:

A. Comparison
