Question

review the text in bold.

let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price,
bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure
the survival and the success of liberty. . . .

in the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role
of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. i do not shrink from this
responsibility—i welcome it. i do not believe that any of us would exchange places
with any other people or any other generation. the energy, the faith, the
devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who
serve it. and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

and so, my fellow americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what
you can do for your country.

my fellow citizens of the world, ask not what america will do for you, but what
together we can do for the freedom of man.

adapted from john f. kennedy, \inaugural address\
in the text in bold, what rhetorical strategy does john f. kennedy use?
he tells a story.
he concedes a point.
he uses a metaphor.

Explanation:

1. Analyze "He tells a story": The bold text does not narrate a story with characters, plot, etc. It's a speech segment with rhetorical devices, not a story - telling.
2. Analyze "He concedes a point": There is no indication of Kennedy agreeing to an opposing view or giving up a position; the text is about commitment and inspiration, not concession.
3. Analyze "He uses a metaphor": In the bold text, "The energy, the faith, the devotion... will light our country... And the glow from that fire..." uses "fire" (representing energy, faith, devotion) and "light" (representing inspiration/guidance) as a metaphor. The "fire" of energy, faith, and devotion is not literal but a metaphorical representation to show how these qualities will inspire the country and the world.

Answer:

He uses a metaphor.
