Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

Personification, is when a thing, object or animal, receives human attributes. This figurative language does not have relation with the line we are analyzing.  

Symbol or symbolism is when the author uses and object or action to represent something else, common symbolism are like a dove that represents peace or a red rose that is associated with love. King did not establish the radiant stars as a specific symbol of love and brotherhood.  

Simile, is when the author compared two things using the word like or as, an example would be brotherhood like radiant stars, however, King shows the similarity between “the love and brotherhood”, and “the radiant stars” implied in the text, we infer that  “the love and brotherhood” are like “radiant stars” this comparison is knows as Metaphor.

So I am pretty sure the answer is...metaphor. This is because they are relating radiant stars to love..

What kind of writing does the excerpt represent?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

A passage from a novel

Explanation:

An excerpt represents not just a quote but a complete passage from a book. It can be a few lines taken from a poem or a novel.

Mostly excerpts are used for complete understanding of a piece of writing. It is easier to critically evaluate a piece of writing when it is broken down into excerpts and then expanded on. It enhances the understanding of the reader.

For example teachers might give a single paragraph to their students and ask them to expand on them and judge their understanding through it.

Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I, or those I represent, to do
mario62 [17]
I believe the correct answer is that it begins with broad statements and ends with more specific ones.
In the beginning, the speaker is just presenting the general idea of the Declaration of Independence and asking certain questions. However, through those questions, he is finding appropriate answers and concluding specific ideas that he wanted to share with his audience.
