Isolate and discuss the rhetorical devices that appear in the following passage:Not everyone thinks that [former] Senator Jesse Helms is the least admired American public figure (as some opinion polls show). Even now, one or two southern Republicans lust after a Helms endorsement.
What will be an ideal response?
"Not everyone" implies that most do-innuendo. The parenthetical remark is a proof surrogate. "Even now" insinuates (innuendo) that by this time hardly anyone has regard for Helms or for a Helms endorsement. "One or two" is a weaseler. "Lust after" belittles the desire for a Helms endorsement: it cheapens both Helms and those who want his support.
