Answer:

D. Repetition

Explanation:

Repetition is a rhetorical device that repeats a word, a phrase or a sentence several times in order to add emphasis, unity, power or an artistic effect to an idea. In the excerpt, the lines "O Captain! My Captain!”? But O heart! heart! heart!" are a great example of repetition, more specifically it is an Epimone, which it's a type of repetition of a phrase or question aiming to emphasize or to dwell on a point.

Dewey Dell is the second-to-youngest Bundren child, and the only daughter of Anse<span>and </span>Addie<span>.

Later, she is cheated by a drug store clerk into having sex with him and then is given what she is sure (correctly) is fake medicine. Just pages later, Anse takes her abortion money to buy his teeth, leaving Dewy Dell with next to nothing at the end of the novel.</span>
