Which phrase is an example of anaphora in this passage?

“let freedom ring from”

“the prodigious hilltops”

“the snow-capped Rockies”

“but not only that”

Answer:

The correct answer is “let freedom ring from”.

Explanation:

To begin, we must define what an anaphor is. For this we must understand that anaphora can be defined from a rhetorical and a grammatical sense, and they should not be confused between each other.

In this case, we need a grammatical definition. This allows us to deduce from the linguistic context what the anaphora refers to, that is, through the presence of a set of elements that outline a previously mentioned issue. In this sense, adverbs, pronouns and verbs that can be called anaphora are used since it avoids the repetition of words already said, for example: "let freedom ring from".
