Question

read the passage from ronald reagans \tear down this wall\ speech. in the 1950s, khrushchev predicted: \we will bury you.\ but in the west today, we see a free world that has achieved a level of prosperity and well - being unprecedented in all human history. in the communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, even want of the most basic kind—too little food. even today, the soviet union still cannot feed itself. after these four decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: freedom leads to prosperity. freedom replaces the ancient hatreds among the nations with comity and peace. freedom is the victor. and now the soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. what type of rhetorical device does reagan use when referring to freedom in this passage? exclusive language repetition emotional appeal inclusive language

Explanation:

To determine the rhetorical device, we analyze each option:

• Exclusive language: Separates groups, not seen here.
• Repetition: Reagan uses "Freedom" multiple times ("Freedom leads...", "Freedom replaces...", "Freedom is...") to emphasize its importance.
• Emotional appeal: Focuses on evoking feelings, but here it's repeated for emphasis, not just emotion.
• Inclusive language: Includes groups, not applicable here.

So repetition is the device used.

Answer:

B. repetition
