To answer the question, we need to analyze the rhetorical devices used in "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" by Frederick Douglass and in "Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address."
- Frederick Douglass uses juxtaposition by contrasting the celebration of freedom and independence (the Fourth of July) with the reality of slavery.
- Abraham Lincoln employs parallelism in the phrase "with malice toward none, with charity for all" to create a rhythmic and emphatic statement about unity and compassion.
The correct comparison of rhetorical devices between the two texts is given in option A.
So the answer is: A) what to the slave is the Fourth of July employed juxtaposition and Lincoln’s second inaugural used allusion.
