C.
by using antithesis when she insists that "such a demand would never be placed on a man"

D.
by using a parenthetical phrase to describe Slowe's home "(which still stands in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington D.C.)"

C

Slowe explicitly contrasts the expectation placed on her with how a man would be treated—"such a demand would never be placed on a man"—which uses antithesis to highlight the unequal, inequitable treatment in employment.
