Read the excerpt from "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”

English

The effect of the repetition of "your" is that it reinforces the speaker’s feeling of separation, as stated in option B and further explained below.

<h3>What is repetition?</h3>

When it comes to speeches, repetition is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating the same word, phrase, or clause several times. The purpose of doing so is to emphasize an idea. Here, we are analyzing the repetition of the possessive "your" in Frederick Douglass' speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?"

The repetition of "your", in this context, emphasizes the speaker's feeling of separation. Douglass, a former slave, does not feel included in this celebration of the country's independence. He sees a clear separation between himself and other slaves from the white audience to whom he speaks.

The use of "your", thus, emphasizes that, to the slave, that celebration means nothing, for he is not free. Therefore, the feeling of separation is clear, which means option B is the correct answer.
