Read the poem.

The Courage That My Mother Had

by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

The courage that my mother had
Went with her, and is with her still:
Rock from New England quarried;
Now granite in a granite hill.

The golden brooch my mother wore
She left behind for me to wear;
I have no thing I treasure more:
Yet, it is something I could spare.

Oh, if instead she’d left to me
The thing she took into the grave!—
That courage like a rock, which she
Has no more need of, and I have.

It explains why the speaker's mother is remembered for acts of courage.

It describes the place where the speaker and her mother are from.

B) The speech is full of logical fallacies that attempt to be persuasive but are in fact misleading.
C) The speaker uses a number of rhetorical devices, including figurative language to make an emotional appeal.
D) None of these statements accurately describe this speech in terms of rhetorical strategies and devices used to support the claims.

Why do good speakers use some of the specialized vocabulary related to a topic? Listeners will believe that the speaker knows a lot about the topic if he or she uses those words. Some listeners will get bored if they don’t hear at least a few words that they don’t know. Specialized vocabulary helps the speaker remember his or her main points.
