Question

Read this passage from "The American Dream."

One of the first things we notice in this dream is an amazing universalism. It does not say some men, but it says all men. It does not say all white men, but it says all men, which includes black men. It does not say all Gentiles, but it says all men, which includes Jews. It does not say all Protestants, but it says all men, which includes Catholics.

Which phrase helps create rhythm in the passage?

“all men”
“white men”
“black men”
“some men”

Answer 1

“all men” — the repeated phrase creates the passage's rhythmic pattern.
