Read this excerpt from "Hope, Despair and Memory" and answer the question.
And yet it is surely human to forget, even to want to forget. The Ancients saw it as a divine gift. Indeed if
memory helps us to survive, forgetting allows us to go on living. How could we go on with our daily lives, if we
remained constantly aware of the dangers and ghosts surrounding us? The Talmud tells us that without the
ability to forget, man would soon cease to learn. Without the ability to forget, man would live in a permanent,
paralyzing fear of death. Only God and God alone can and must remember everything.
In the above excerpt Wiesel is using what rhetorical devices?
O paradox and antithesis
O persuasion and rhetoric
Myparable and pathos
O alliteration and ethos

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?
'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'
see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,
the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,
and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover
and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold.
see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.
'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!
and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,
to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the rhyme scheme of "an open boat" is abcb abab abba aabc
