One of the rhetorical techniques that Jefferson uses in the Declaration of Independence is repetition. This is used to great effect in the body of the document, as he is listing the grievances that the colonists hold against the King. After starting the declaration with a logical account of the colonists’ need to establish independence, Jefferson then delineates all of the reasons that King George has given them to revolt. He gives 27different transgressions that King George has committed, all beginning with the words “He has” or “For.” The first one, for example, is
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
The effect of repetition in this section of the document is to emphasize how unfairly the British have treated the colonies. Putting all the grievances together in this fashion, with the repeated introductory word(s) gives the impression that the list just goes “on and on.”

Answer:
6. What are you buying?
7. Do you play basketball?
8. What have you become?
9. What do they have?
10. What is she going to take.
Explanation:
6. I wrote this answer for the sixth one because it refers to ‘ What is she buying?’
7. Because the given sentence is already a question.
8. This is because the question refers to ‘ what have you become?’ because the second person will always say ‘ I have’ instead of ‘You have’.
9. This is because the sentence refers to ‘ What do they have?’
10. This is because the sentence refers to ‘ What will she take?’
This is a personal question, just write how you would feel if that happened to you.
