Explanation:

1. Analyze Douglass' text: The lines "What point...? On what branch...? Must I...? That point..." use rhetorical questions (asking without expecting answer) and also parallelism (repeated question structure). Wait, no—first, check the options. The first option: Douglass' text has rhetorical questions (like "What point...? On what branch...? Must I...?") and Lincoln's Second Inaugural has anaphora (repetition of "with..." as in "With malice... with charity... with firmness..."). Wait, no, let's re - check. Wait, the first option says Douglass uses rhetorical questions and Lincoln uses anaphora. Let's verify:

• In Douglass' excerpt: "What point in the anti - slavery creed would you have me argue? On what branch of the subject do the people of this country need light? Must I undertake to prove that the slave is a man?" These are rhetorical questions (they are asked to make a point, not to get an answer).
• In Lincoln's excerpt (from the given part: "With malice toward none with charity for all with firmness in..."), the repetition of "with" at the start of phrases is anaphora (repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses).
• Now check other options:
• Option 2: Antithesis (contrast) in Douglass? The excerpt doesn't show strong contrast. Lincoln's use of juxtaposition? Not evident from the given part.
• Option 3: Parallelism in Douglass? The questions are parallel in structure, but Lincoln's use of hypophora (asking and answering) is not seen in the given Lincoln excerpt.
• Option 4: Juxtaposition in Douglass? No. Lincoln's use of allusion? Not seen in the given part.
• So the first option is correct.

Answer:

A. What to the Slave is the Fourth of July employs rhetorical questions and Lincoln’s Second Inaugural uses anaphora.
