Read the excerpt from Shirley Chisholm’s presidential announcement speech. Instead of watching a football game on television while young people beg for the attention of their president concerning our actions abroad, I would encourage them to speak out, organize for peaceful change, and vote in November. Instead of blocking efforts to control the huge amounts of money given [to] political candidates by the rich and the powerful, I would provide certain limits on such amounts and encourage all the people of this nation to contribute small sums to the candidates of their choice.

Which statement best explains Chisholm’s use of anaphora?

A. She repeats the word “people” to highlight the general feeling of the public and connect it to steps she could take to correct issues.
B. She repeats “instead of” and “I would” to present the problematic actions of current leaders and emphasize what she would do differently.
C. She uses vivid language to emphasize her support for peaceful change and people’s right to speak out.
D. She uses vivid language to compare the actions of current leaders to the actions of the public.
