What is the purpose of Gandhi's use of hypophora in this excerpt from his "Banaras Hindu University Speech"? I honor the anarchi

st for his love of the country. I honor him for his bravery in being willing to die for his country; but I ask him-is killing honorable? Is the dagger of an assassin a fit precursor of an honorable death? I deny it. There is no warrant for such methods in any scriptures. If I found it necessary for the salvation of India that the English should retire, that they should be driven out, I would not hesitate to declare that they would have to go, and I hope I would be prepared to die in defense of that belief. That would, in my opinion, be an honorable death. The bomb-thrower creates secret plots, is afraid to come out into the open, and when caught pays the penalty of misdirected zeal

Hypophora serves as a device where the author asks a question and then directly answers it. In this excerpt, Gandhi employs hypophora to prompt readers to contemplate the actions of anarchists.

The author's use of Hypophora aims to stimulate the audience's consideration regarding the actions of anarchists and to inspire affluent Indians to take action rather than simply discussing poverty. Hypophora is a rhetorical device where the author poses a question and instantly provides an answer.

Intimidation.

How might survivors in a story react to the end of civilization? Check any that apply.
Lady bird [7098]

Considering it from a perspective that a writer might adopt in such a situation, I would suggest:

  1. cooperating with one another
  2. establishing their own rules
  3. focusing on survival

My reasoning for not suggesting creating a safe environment for their children is that the initial shock would likely trigger survival instincts, causing a primary focus on their own safety.
