The answer that represents the hallmark of the modern biography is D) all of the above, including focus on ordinary people instead of merely kings, rulers, and saints, allowing subject to speak in his or her own words, and including an attempt to be objective and to critically evaluate subject.
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>
