The key point was that Kennedy challenged Nixon to a series of televised debates. It was the first televised presidential debate in American history.
In 1960, 88 % of American homes had television. About 2/3 of the electorate watched the first debate on TV. Nixon was recovering from a knee injury, he looked drained. Kennedy, meanwhile, had been resting in a hotel for an entire weekend, he looked tan and confident.
Most Americans watching the debates voted for Kennedy, most radio listeners seemed to give the edge to Nixon.
c) hyperbole
A hyperbole is an over-exaggeration. In this phrase, it is highly unlikely that the little city in Georgia has been sleeping for "forty thousand years" especially considering that the United States is only 242 years old. If personification were an option, it would also be a great choice. Personification is giving non-human thing human-like traits. In this phrase, the city (non-human) is being given a human trait (dozing).
The other options: an allusion is a reference to another piece of literature or other published work. A flashback is an interruption that tells about something that has already happened. Rhyme is a group of words that sound similar (bone, cone, phone).
