Question

read the excerpt from an irish airman foresees his death. i know that i shall meet my fate somewhere among the clouds above; those that i fight i do not hate; those that i guard i do not love; which best describes the effect of the rhyme of lines 1 and 3 in this excerpt? the rhyming words \fate\ and \hate\ emphasize the pilots sense of duty. the rhyming words \fate\ and \hate\ connect the pilots fate to his emotions. the rhyming words \fate\ and \hate\ establish the pilots irish nationality. the rhyming words \fate\ and \hate\ stress the pilots desire to go home.

Explanation:

The rhyme of "fate" and "hate" links the pilot's inevitable end (fate) with his feelings (emotions) towards those he fights and guards. It shows a complex emotional state rather than emphasizing duty, establishing nationality, or stressing a desire to go - home.

Answer:

The rhyming words "fate" and "hate" connect the pilot's fate to his emotions.
