Answered by GPT 3.5
The correct answer is antithesis. Antithesis is the use of contrasting or opposing ideas or words within a parallel grammatical structure. In this statement, the contrasting ideas are the sacrifices of "their lives" and "their fortunes" juxtaposed with the honor of their cause. This creates a powerful contrast and emphasizes the importance of their commitment.
