Need to know ! read the passage from a speech by president barack obama. mr. secretary general; your excellencies, we are here because, right now, in crowded camps and cities around the world, there are families . . who’ve endured years . . as refugees, surviving on rations and aid, and who dream of someday, somehow, having a home of their own. we’re here because, right now, there are young girls . . who’ve suffered unspeakable abuse . . who pray at night that someone might rescue them from their torment. . we are here because, right now, there are mothers separated from their children—like the woman in a camp in greece, who held on to her family photographs . . and who said "my breath is my children . . every day i am dying 10, 20, 30 times.” which rhetorical device does obama use in this passage? understatement tricolon anaphora allusion

The correct answer is definitely anaphora.

Indeed, anaphora is the repetition of a word or a set of words at the beginning of a paragraph that is repeated with each successive paragraph in order to emphasize important notions and to convey pathos. Obama is constantly reminding his audience the reason why they have come to such gathering and also using pathos to urge them into action in favor of refugees.

Anaphora

Explanation:

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,

caminas makes the most sense here since it means to walk.
