Answer:

parallelism

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Parallelism

Explanation:

Parallelism refers to the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. It uses words, phrases or clauses that are grammatically similar or identical in structure, sound, meaning, or meter, with the purpose of showing that the stated ideas are equally important and to give a natural flow to the piece of writing.

The passage uses this literary device because some phrases and clauses have the same grammatical structure, such as We measured it and broke it up; We were born on it, we got killed on it, died on it; and being born on it, working it, dying on it.
