Answer:
Every year hundreds of grade school students converge on Washington, D.C., for the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. The “bee” is an elite event in which children as young as 8 years old compete to spell words like “cymotrichous” and “appoggiatura.” Most people who watch the spelling bee think of these kids as being “smart.”
What makes a person intelligent? Is it heredity (two of the 2014 contestants in the National Spelling Bee have siblings who have previously won) (National Spelling Bee, 2014a)? Is it interest (the most frequently listed favorite subject among spelling bee competitors is math)(NSB, 2014b)?
The rhetorical device which best describes the example shown is; Choice C; Allusion.
<h3>Antithesis and Allusion as Rhetorical devices</h3>
Antithesis is used in literature in writing or speech either as a proposition that contrasts with or reverses some previously mentioned proposition, or when two opposites are introduced together for contrasting effect.
An allusion put simply, is when one hints at something and expect the other person to understand what we are referencing.
Hence, it follows particularly from the line; "You know Donna Weems as the Shakespeare of our school" that the rhetorical device is; Allusion.
