Read the following excerpt from President John F. Kennedy's "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech. Then, answer the question that follows.

… we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.

Which rhetorical device does Kennedy use to support his argument?

A: Antithesis: he is using contrasting ideas to emphasize the uncertainty of space exploration

B: Irony: he is saying the opposite of what he means about space exploration

C: Rhetorical question: he is stating something about space exploration in the form of a question

D: Zeugma: he is using figurative language to emphasize a literal and figurative meaning

Answer:

A: Antithesis: he is using contrasting ideas to emphasize the uncertainty of space exploration

Explanation:

Antithesis produces tension in the audience, making Kennedy's reasoning method successful. Kennedy implies that space travel's future is unclear by presenting it as a difficult subject.

Kennedy emphasizes space exploration and investigating the unknown by using contrast. He argues that space exploration is worth the risks.

"Antithesis" means polar opposite. Literally, it implies arranging two diametrically opposed objects next to each other in a story. Literary antithesis is valuable because people want to contrast things. Because it describes the opposite of an idea, antithesis may help readers.

This is a strange Christmas Eve. Almost the whole world is locked in deadly struggle, and, with the most terrible weapons which science can devise, the nations advance upon each other. Ill would it be for us this Christmastide if we were not sure that no greed for the land or wealth of any other people, no vulgar ambition, no morbid lust for material gain at the expense of others, had led us to the field. Here, in the midst of war, raging and roaring over all the lands and seas, creeping nearer to our hearts and homes, here, amid all the tumult, we have tonight the peace of the spirit in each cottage home and in every generous heart. Therefore we may cast aside for this night at least the cares and dangers which beset us, and make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Here, then, for one night only, each home throughout the English-speaking world should be a brightly-lighted island of happiness and peace.

A.
to remind people about the evils surrounding them
B.
to promote happiness and peace during the Christmas season
C.
to encourage more support for the war
D.
to push for the United States and Britain to become one country

why is this poem the biggest piece of junk on the planet it makes no sense

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!
