1 answer

To determine which rhetorical technique is used in the passage from Representative Barbara Jordan's speech, I would need to see the specific text. However, I can explain each technique briefly, and you can identify which one is present in the passage.

  1. Juxtaposition: This involves placing two contrasting ideas close together to highlight differences.

  2. Anaphora: This is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences.

  3. Rhetorical Question: This is a question asked for effect or to make a point rather than to elicit an answer.

  4. Metaphor: This is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things by stating that one is the other.

If you provide the passage, I can help identify which rhetorical technique is being used.
