Hi,
The following line from the excerpt shows personification:
<span>"Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.
It is personifying the night.

Answer:
The rhetorical device used by Theodore is ethos.
Explanation:
The term 'ethos' is a Greek word which means 'nature or disposition.'
According to Aristotle's appeal, ethos is one of the persuasive technique that an orator uses to sway his audience. In this form of persuasive technique, the audience is convinced by the speaker through his credibility, character, or guiding beliefs that reveals the character of the speaker.
<u>In his famous speech at Groton School, Theodore Roosevelt addressed to the young boys who were preparing for their college. In his speech, he advised the young men to include facts when talking about public figures. He educates them that they should not pass judgement on anyone without concrete facts. </u><u>This reveals about his guiding beliefs and ethical character and that he is guided by the principle of ethics and does not speak about anyone without any facts.</u>
Thus the rhetorical device used by Theodore Roosevelt is ethos.
The correct answer is D. simile and imagery.
Simile is a figure of speech where you compare two or more things using words such as <em>like </em>or <em>as. </em>Since you can see that in this example ('<em>like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair...') </em>you can safely assume that B and C are incorrect. The entire picture that these lines create is quite vivid (can be clearly imagined) which is a characteristic of imagery, which is why D is the correct answer here.
