Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- Option A: The excerpt doesn't have repetition (repeating the same words/phrase). So A is incorrect.
- Option B: The excerpt consists of multiple questions (e.g., "Does it mean...", "Has the human being...", etc.) that are rhetorical (not expecting direct answers but prompting thought). This matches the description of using rhetorical questions to make the audience think about his ideas.
- Option C: A logical appeal would involve presenting facts/statistics to persuade, but the excerpt is full of questions, not factual appeals. So C is incorrect.
- Option D: Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds, which isn't present here. So D is incorrect.

# Answer:
B. Wiesel uses rhetorical questions to end his speech in order to encourage the audience to think further about his ideas.
