Rhetorical question C) A statement made in the form of a question with no expectation of an answer
Zeugma D) The use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning

Answer 1

Match each rhetorical device with its definition: Antithesis (A), Irony (D), Rhetorical question (C), and Zeugma (B). Metaphors and similes are tools that make direct comparisons or use 'like' or 'as' to compare respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires matching each rhetorical device with its correct definition. Here are the matches:

1. Antithesis corresponds to the definition "A) The rhetorical contrast of ideas by means of parallel arrangements of words, clauses, or sentences."
2. Irony fits with definition "D) The use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning."
3. The term Rhetorical question is correctly described by definition "C) A statement made in the form of a question with no expectation of an answer."
4. Zeugma is best matched with definition "B) The use of a word to modify two or more words usually in a way that applies to each in a different sense or makes sense with only one."

Rhetorical devices like metaphors and similes are also significant tools in writing, with a metaphor implying a direct comparison by stating two things are the same, and a simile employing "like" or "as" to draw a comparison.
