Question

9) In paragraph 4, which rhetorical device does Lincoln use to emphasize

Answer 1

Answer:

Parallel Structure

Explanation:

He starts off the first two sentences with the same word; neither, and introduces a similar and continuing claim across the entire paragraph. He does the same with the rest of the sentences, such as the fourth sentence being a continuation of the third. Also, if you pay attention to the grammatical form within the paragraph, it creates a pattern. It essentially is a rhythm of speech that underscores two or more ideas that have the same importance to one another!
