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

  1. "What's in a name?" - Rhetorical question
  2. Cookies are my Kryptonite. - Metaphor
  3. The frost is glittering crystals on the trees. - Metaphor (although it could also be described as imagery, it aligns more closely with metaphor in this context)
  4. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of foolishness...." - Anaphora (repetition of phrasing at the beginning of clauses)

So, to clarify:

  • Rhetorical question: "What's in a name?"
  • Metaphor: Cookies are my Kryptonite, The frost is glittering crystals on the trees.
  • Anaphora: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of foolishness...."
