Explanation:

For Question 9:

"On the Arsenal of Democracy" is a 1940 speech by Franklin D. Roosevelt framing democratic nations as a counter to authoritarian (totalitarian) Axis powers, emphasizing that democracy is the superior system worth defending. The other options do not align with the core focus of this speech.

For Question 10:

Anaphora is a rhetorical device defined by the deliberate repetition of a word or phrase at the start of successive clauses or sentences, which matches the repeated use of "Go to any" in Reagan's speech. Personification gives human traits to non-humans, understatement downplays a situation, and "other" is not applicable here.

Answer:

Question 9: D. Democracy is preferable to totalitarianism.
Question 10: A. anaphora
