The answer should be C. Since it seems like the best choice out of the four.
Answer:
Dichotomy is defined as "a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different."
Mandela's speech uses dichotomy to emphasize his points as evident in the following excerpt: "We speak here of the challenge of the dichotomies of war and peace, violence and non-violence, racism and human dignity, oppression and repression and liberty and human rights, poverty and freedom from want."
The contrasts mentioned in the speech are: war vs. peace; violence vs. non-violence; racism vs. human dignity; oppression and repression vs. liberty and human rights; and poverty vs. freedom from want. The pairs are negative in opposition to the positive experiences or conditions of human existence.

"Bending the knee" is a formal act of submission to a king, queen or lord, a recognition of authority and a demonstration of fealty.
Explanation:
The use of the epic simile in the excerpt helps the reader understand how hot the spear actually is, as stated in the last option and explained below.
<h3>What is an epic simile?</h3>
First, we need to understand that a simile is a figure of speech that consists of comparing different things. Similes rely on the use of words such as "like" or "as." An epic simile is merely a long simile, that is, a simile that extends over many lines.
In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the epic simile helps the reader understand how hot the spear actually is. The lines contain the description of the making of the spear and how it made the eyeball hiss as it touched it.
With the information above in mind, we can choose the last option as the correct answer.
The missing excerpt is the following:
In a smithy one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam– the way they make soft iron hale and hard—: just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.
