Answer

The answer is Anaphora.

Explanation
Option 1: Euphemism

A euphemism is a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing. This is not applicable to the given line.

Option 2: Anaphora

Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses. In the given line, "This time" is repeated at the beginning of each clause, making it an example of anaphora.

Option 3: Epistrophe

Epistrophe is the repetition of a word at the end of successive clauses or sentences. This is not applicable to the given line as the repetition occurs at the beginning.

Option 4: Simile

A simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid, typically using "like" or "as." This is not applicable to the given line.

Exercice ° 1 Données: Célérité de propagation de la lumière dans le vide : C=3.10^8 m · s^-1; On réalise l'expérience de la diffraction de la lumière à d'une source laser monochromatique de longueur d'onde dans le vide λ. On fixe à quelques centimètres de cette source un fil fin de diamètre a une distance D=5,54 m un écran E. 1-On éclaire le fil par la source laser, on observe sur l'écran des taches de diffraction. On désignera la largeur de la tache centrale par L. 1-1) Quelles est la nature de la lumière mise en évidence par le phénomène de diffraction? 1-2) Exprimer la longueur d'onde λ, en fonction de D, L et a, sachant que l'expression de l'écart angulaire entre le milieu de la tache centrale et l'un de ses extrémités est : θ=λ/a. (On considère θ petit) 1-3) On mesure la longueur L de la frange centrale pour différents fils fins. Les résultats obtenus permettent de tracer la courbe de la figure 2, qui représente les variations de L en fonction de 1/a. Par exploitation de cette courbe, déterminer la longueur d'onde λ. 2 - On refait la même expérience en fixant un cheveu exactement à la place du fil. La mesure de la largeur de la tache centrale donne : L′=42 mm Déterminer à l'aide de la courbe, le diamètre d du cheveu.

A university class has 22 students: 3 are nursing majors, 9 are psychology majors, and 10 are business majors. (Each student has only one of these majors.) The professor is planning to select two of the students for a demonstration. The first student will be selected at random, and then the second student will be selected at random from the remaining students. What is the probability that the first student selected is a nursing major and the second student is a psychology major? Do not round your intermediate computations. Round your final answer to three decimal places.
