After identifying a language technique an author has used, you should ask:

did the author use this technique correctly?
how can i use this technique in my own writing?
what is the meaning and effect of this technique?
when have i seen this technique used before?

'What is the meaning and effect of this technique?' should be correct.

One of the main tools of a successful text interpretation is to understand which writing features an author is using and its respective effects. Since the literary techniques (a.k.a. 'language techniques') are often used by authors to give their written ideas more emphasis and make them stand out, besides conveying and heightening meaning to them, the more you know about these devices, the better reader you are.

The correct answer is what is the meaning and effect of this technique.

Explanation:

the answer above is correct and I got it right on the test .

i believe it is the first option, having taken lessons

the answer is b) ''i hereby express my profound remorse together with my sincere mourning ''.

the reason being that although all of the options provided are valid the main idea of the speech by prime minister junichiro koizumi is to express his and japan's current antiwar pledge.

he states that 59 years had passed since the war, he acknowledges the 3 million japanese that lost their lives during the war and those countries who were affected by their decisions, as well as the way japan intends to develop relationships across the globe however all of this can be summarize to how japan as a whole regrets the war and its consecuences.

hope this ! i found the article on let me know if i'm using the wrong one.
