D) providing statistics on how many children died of cancer each year
Answer:
C. Anaphora
Explanation:
An analogy is a comparison of things using figurative language/imagery. So Choice A is incorrect.
Logos is a persuasive technique. It appeals to people's <em>logic. </em>The phrase "He has" doesn't appeal to logic. So Choice B is incorrect.
Parallelism means a close connection between two things/two things that mirror each other. "He has" does not parallel anything. So Choice D is incorrect.
A Red Herring is a misleading or false statement meant to negate or confuse the audience. This doesn't make sense in terms of "He has," so Choice E is incorrect.
By process of elimination, we're left with C. Anaphora. An anaphora is the repetion of a word or phrase at the start of several sentences. This makes sense and is the most logical answer.
Answer:
Punctuation is the system of standardized marks to clarify meaning.
