Here are definitions and examples for each rhetorical technique you've listed:

  1. Allusion: A reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work, or work of art.
    Example: “He’s a real Romeo with the ladies.” (This alludes to Shakespeare's character Romeo.)

  2. Snap Horse: This term does not appear to be a standard rhetorical device or technique. Please verify or clarify if you meant "snaphorse," which might refer to a metaphor or symbolic usage, but clarification is needed.

  3. Hypophora: A technique where the speaker poses a question and then immediately answers it.
    Example: “What makes me think I can change the world? I believe that with determination and hard work, anything is possible.”

  4. Rhetorical Question: A question asked for effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer.
    Example: “Isn’t it time for a change?” (The speaker does not expect a response; they want to provoke thought.)
