The rhetorical device that <span>is used in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The Danger of Lying in Bed" is anecdote (assuming that your options are allusion, rhetorical question, anecdote, and logic). 
There is no allusion to any other text here, so that is not the correct answer. There are also no rhetorical questions - questions that don't need an answer because it is implied. I guess there is logic, but it is not a rhetorical device really. So, I'd choose anecdote, because an anecdote is a short, interesting story from someone's life, as is the case here.</span>

Savatey [412]
Unlike most animals, they're enjoyable. They don't do anything but sing til they die.  They're calm, peaceful, and beautiful. Mockingbirds are nothing but amazing. It's a sin to kill a mockingbird just like it's a sin to kill a unicorn. To kill something so pure and harmless is horrible. That's why it's a sin to kill a mocking bird.

A tree doubled in height each year until it reached its maximum height over the course of ten years. How many years did it take
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: nine years.

Explanation: according to the given prompt, the tree doubled its height each year, therefore we can also say that no matter what year we are in (in the ten years limit), the year before, the tree was half of its size. So, if the tree reaches its maximum height in ten years, that means that the year before that (year number nine), the tree was half of its maximum height. So the answer is nine years.
