Answer:
<u><em>B) Repetition</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Repetition</em> is a rhetorical device that repeats the same words and/or phrases or even full sentences in order to make a stronger impression and put an accent to what a writer considers to be the most important idea in the text. Its use is common in both prose and poetry.
Examples of repetition in the given excerpt are: <u><em>One hundred years later</em></u><em> </em>and <u><em>Negro</em></u> as both of them repeat 3 times.
