Banikantha's house looked out upon the stream. Every hut and stack in the place could be seen by the passing boatmen. I know not if amid these signs of worldly wealth any one noticed the little girl who, when her work was done, stole away to the waterside and sat there. But here Nature fulfilled her want of speech and spoke for her. The murmur of the brook, the voice of the village folk, the songs of the boatmen, the cry of the birds and the rustle of trees mingled and were one with the trembling of her heart. They became one vast wave of sound which beat upon her restless soul. Which device does this passage illustrate best? irony characterization moral dilemma structure

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "moral dilemma." The literary device that does this passage illustrate best is that moral dilemma. Moral dilemma refers to the conflict in which you have to choose between two or more actions and have moral reasons for choosing each action.
