Following the 2000 election:
The Gore campaign asked the Florida Supreme Court to order a hand recount of the ballots.
The 2000 election was extremely close, and the voting in Florida was extremely close. Ultimately, the outcome in Florida would determine the outcome of the nation's election for president. George W. Bush led the vote count on election night by 1,784 votes. That was a narrow enough lead to trigger an automatic machine recount of all ballots. When the machine recount was done, the actual lead for Bush was only 900 votes. The other candidate, Al Gore, was able to use Florida state law to request manual recounting of ballots in four key counties. But because the manual recounts were taking more time than the state law allowed, Gore petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to extend the time, so that those recounts could continue. It was the Bush campaign that appealed to the US Supreme Court, and the US Supreme Court stopped the recount process. When that happened, Florida's electoral votes (and with them, the election win) were awarded to Bush.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
The rhetorical device I can find in the following passage is Pathos.
Pathos is the appeal of emotion to try to convince an audience. When an author uses Pathos, it tries to move the emotions of the readers with its writing. In this case, the passage includes words such as "fled" to express the excessive number of people that had to migrate to other countries. Or "stamp out" to say that they had to get rid of the rebels.
This quote appeared in the prestigious newspaper USA Today.
"In the 1980s, Central America was awash in violence. Tens of thousands of people fled El Salvador and Guatemala as authoritarian governments seeking to stamp out leftist rebels turned to widespread arrests and death squads."
