2. Apollo tells his son that not even other gods can drive his chariot.
3. Apollo explains what will happen if his son drives his chariot.
4. Apollo reluctantly gives in to his son's request to drive the chariot.
Explanation:
When Phaethon went to his father the sun god- Apollo, to confirm his legitimacy, his father assured him that he was indeed his son. Awed by his father's magnificence and the sun-chariot, Phaethon made a request to drive the chariot when told by his father to make any request. Phaethon insisted on driving the chariot and since his father already gave his word, he could not go back on it.
Apollo initially resisted the idea and told his son to make another request. He explained that not even other gods like zeus could drive his chariot. He explained how the chariot worked and the dangers involved in it. When his son refused still insisted, he eventually had to keep his word by letting his son drive the chariot.
The rhetorical device used by Twain in this excerpt is the anecdote (C.).
<u>An anecdote is defined as an entertaining narrative, usually relating biographical events</u>.
