Answer 1

Here are the matches for each example with the correct rhetorical technique:

1. Anaphora: “What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.” (The repetition of the phrase "What kind of peace" at the beginning of the questions.)

2. Allusion: “Cookies are my Achilles’ heel.” (A reference to Achilles from Greek mythology, implying a vulnerable point.)

3. Hypophora: How many of us could run a marathon? (Raising a question and then typically answering it, though the answer does not appear in the quote.)

4. Rhetorical Question: “Give me liberty, or give me death!” (Though it may be debated, the phrase implies a strong rhetorical statement rather than a literal question expecting an answer.)

Note: While "Give me liberty, or give me death!" is a powerful statement, it doesn’t fit perfectly as a rhetorical question in the traditional sense, where an answer isn't expected. However, the intention behind the phrase implies urgency and conviction similar to a rhetorical question.
