Sure! Here’s how you can match each rhetorical technique to an example:
-
Allusion: A brief reference to a person, place, thing, or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance.
- Example: "He’s acting like a Scrooge."
-
Anaphora: The repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences.
- Example: "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up... I have a dream that... "
-
Hypophora: A figure of speech in which a writer poses a question and then immediately answers it.
- Example: "What would I do without my best friend? I couldn't imagine life without her."
-
Rhetorical Question: A question that is asked to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer.
- Example: "Isn't it a bit too late to be starting this project?"
