The correct answer is C.

In a periodic sentence the main clause is at the end. This is used for emphasis, by putting reasons for something at the beginning before the final point is made.

In his speech, Gehrig uses many periodic sentences to highlight how lucky he has been troughout his life.

An example of this rhetorical element is: "When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter -- that’s something."

An anaphora refers to the repetition of a word or phrase in successive clauses or phrases.

Gehrig repeats the phrase "Sure I'm lucky" to put extra emphasis in the fact that, even though he got a bad break, he has had a great deal of luck during his life.

This is a little bit tricky to justify without context, but I would say that this is an example of characterization. Through this sentence, the reader isn’t directly being told something about the character or her personality, but her sleeping with the letter under her cheek can help the reader make inferences about how, for instance, she treats things that are important to her.

The stars reflected diamonds on the ocean's rippling surface
Afina-wow [57]

The answer is C: It compares the stars' reflections to diamonds to suggest the idea of beauty in nature.

The metaphor used here, in poetic terms, is stating that, as the stars reflect on the surface of the ocean, one can marvel at the beauty of such an occurrence in nature, and since the image shows not the influence of man on the occurrence, it is then perfectly comprehensible to interpret the metaphor as one referring to the beauty in nature.
