Question

Match each example with the correct rhetorical technique.(2 points)
allusion
anaphora
hypophora
rhetorical question

Answer 1

I don’t see the specific example sentences you want matched. I can either (A) give brief definitions plus an example of each technique, or (B) match your four actual examples if you paste them. Below are definitions with an example for each so you can match them to your items.

- Allusion — a brief reference to a person, event, place, or work outside the text (often historical or literary). Example: “He met his Waterloo.”
- Anaphora — repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences. Example: “We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields…”
- Hypophora — the writer/speaker asks a question and then immediately answers it. Example: “What should we do about the problem? We must act now.”
- Rhetorical question — a question asked for effect that does not require an answer. Example: “Who doesn’t want to be happy?”

If you paste your four example sentences, I’ll match each one to the correct technique.
