Question

In which sentence does the author use a more firm and forceful tone to emphasize a point? Then again, I don't feel very Finnish either, as I've lived abroad for most of my life. I sometimes wonder whether my life would be different if I had grown up in one place. The sense of being at home anywhere, yet feeling that home is nowhere, is part of who I am. Being rootless doesn't mean I don't belong to any one place; it means I choose to belong to many.

Answer 1

Being rootless doesn't mean I don't belong to any one place; it means I choose to belong to many.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word 'rootless' means homeless or wanderer who does not have a permanent home or place to live. He lives at different places at different time.

In the context, the author tries to convey the message that he is a wanderer and does not have a permanent settlement place. He had lived at different places all over his life. So he does not belongs to a particular place but all places belongs to him.

He emphasize this by saying that being homeless or unsettled at a particular place does not mean that he don't belong to any one of the place, but he means he can choose to belong to may places or countries.
