The answer is Option B: He uses repetition to emphasize change on the horizon for people who are struggling.
Explanation:
In this excerpt from inaugural address, John F. Kennedy is first addressing Europe as old allies and where the United States originated from in the sense that the first settlers were from England. We need to remain allies to be successful. The other states in the second paragraph are those former colonies in Africa for example that were recently gaining independence. Kennedy is speaking against their falling under Soviet influence. In the third paragraph he is promising to help alleviate world poverty and misery. He is using repetition in the first line of each paragraph as a literary device: To those old allies; to those new states; and to those people in the huts and villages of half the globe." He is repeating the same words or phrases to make an idea clearer and more memorable. It could also be considered parallelism because he is making structured use of repetition. Parallelism is using identical or equivalent constructions to express the same sentiment in corresponding phrases of a speech.
