I can't tell from that question alone — you didn't include the passage. Could you paste the exact sentence(s) from Obama you want analyzed?
Meanwhile, here are quick ways to identify each option so you can check yourself:
- Understatement: downplays the importance of something (often ironic or using litotes, e.g., “that’s not insignificant”).
- Tricolon: a list or series of three parallel elements (three words or phrases of similar form and length).
- Anaphora: repetition of the same word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses/sentences (e.g., “We will…” / “We will…” / “We will…”).
- Allusion: a brief, indirect reference to a person, event, or text outside the passage (e.g., invoking Lincoln, Scripture, classical myth).
Paste the passage and I’ll identify which device Obama uses and explain why.
