Correct answer: It emphasizes urgency and strengthens his call for immediate action.

Why: Repeating "Mr. Gorbachev" is a direct, rhetorical address (anaphora) that draws attention, personalizes the appeal, and heightens the urgency and moral pressure on Gorbachev to act. It does not show confusion, explain Soviet policy, or reduce emotional intensity — it increases rhetorical force.
