Explanation:

1. In "I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes", the emotional appeal of the speaker's marginalized position is prominent, which is pathos.
2. The repetition of "I, too" at the beginning of clauses is anaphora, a rhetorical device of repetition at the start of successive clauses.
3. The "kitchen" symbolizes the place of exclusion and marginalization for the speaker, so it is symbolism.
4. JFK's statement is more of a general - statement of resolve rather than relying on anecdotes, statistics, or testimonials. It doesn't use analogical evidence either. It's a broad - stroke statement.
5. "We shall pay any price" shows the choices the speaker is willing to make, which is related to the Choices element in SPACECAT.

Answer:

1. B. Pathos
2. A. Anaphora
3. A. Symbolism
4. None of the above (The statement is more of a general declaration of resolve rather than fitting neatly into these evidence types)
5. B. Choices
