Answer:
- The phrase 'Old Mother' combined with the noun 'Country' using the conjunction 'and' places the images of mother and country in an equal relationship.
- The phrase 'Equally sharing the memories of love':
+ 'Equally': dividing from a single source. We often encounter the phrase 'equally share' in cases like dividing a cake, sharing food,... The modifiers in these phrases are specific object nouns.
+ In the poem 'Encountering Rice Leaves,' the poet Thanh Thao combines the phrase 'equally share' with an abstract conceptual phrase 'memories of love.'
=> Effectiveness:
+ The linguistic combination reveals a tightly bonded family connection with love for the homeland and country within the soul of the soldier.
