PLEASE HELP!! What type of literary device is Ballou using in the underlined portion of this paragraph? while the banner of my purpose floats calmly and proudly in the breeze​

he is struggling with the love of his family and the desire to do what he feels he must do with his life as a person to help people

Explanation:

the banner of purpose = what I intend to do with my life is out there where all can see it.  i could die tomorrow or be killed today.  metaphorically speaking, the banner floats - a flag flying proudly in the breeze.  he does not want his children to be fatherless as he was but he must fulfill his ultimate calling which is to die for his country if needed

what can best be inferred from this excerpt is the pittsburgh pirates had a winning season in 1972., the specific information about the year is provided in the excerpt.

the other options are not correct because we can not assure that roberto clemente was the best since we don't know the information about the other players, there are no mentions about any specific fan either and it is clear that not many batters can make it to   3000 hits because it is mention as a high number.

not sure but i think it’s the snug nest
