Answer:
c. Sitting in the cockpit of a commercial airplane.
Explanation:
The National Geographic magazine article "Barrington Irving, Pilot and Educator" narrates how Barrington Irving became a pilot. Irving would become the first and youngest African American to be a pilot and fly solo around the world.
Irving had never thought of becoming a pilot at first. As he admitted, <em>"I didn’t think I was smart enough"</em>, Irving never thought about his future in the aviation scene. He was just helping out his parents at their bookstore. It was there that a chance encounter, a chance question by <em>"a Jamaican-born professional pilot"</em> and the chance to sit at the cockpit of a commercial airplane that <em>"hooked"</em> Irving to flying.
Thus, the correct answer is option c.

Answer:
C. Anaphora
Explanation:
An analogy is a comparison of things using figurative language/imagery. So Choice A is incorrect.
Logos is a persuasive technique. It appeals to people's <em>logic. </em>The phrase "He has" doesn't appeal to logic. So Choice B is incorrect.
Parallelism means a close connection between two things/two things that mirror each other. "He has" does not parallel anything. So Choice D is incorrect.
A Red Herring is a misleading or false statement meant to negate or confuse the audience. This doesn't make sense in terms of "He has," so Choice E is incorrect.
By process of elimination, we're left with C. Anaphora. An anaphora is the repetion of a word or phrase at the start of several sentences. This makes sense and is the most logical answer.
