idk. this is a question from the Board paper
wait a minute
would it b that he was facing a dilemma whether to let the snake calmly drink water at his trough or act up manly and kill him?
the answer might be he had two thoughts contradicting to each other
the voice of his instincts on the one hand and the voice of education on the other
the figure of speech is alliteration
edit it in the answer!
am unable to do it
it doesnt give an option to edit now
ohk np
