Answer :

mohammadasabri

Answer:

antithesis

Explanation:

The quote from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," "Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice," best exemplifies the literary technique of antithesis. Antithesis involves the juxtaposition of contrasting ideas in a balanced or parallel phrase or grammatical structure. In this case, the advice to be generous in listening ("Give every man thy ear") but selective in speaking ("but few thy voice") sets up a contrast between two actions, emphasizing the wisdom of discernment in communication. Therefore, the correct answer is D. antithesis.
