Answer

clauses. In the passage, "We are here because, right now" is repeated at the start of each paragraph, which is a clear example of anaphora. Understatement is minimizing something, tricolon is a group of three parallel elements (not seen here in the repeated structure), and allusion is a reference to something else (not present here).

Answer:
