Usually this is just called "repetition"!

But some more fancy terms for different types of repetition are:

Anaphora, which is repetition at the beginning of a clause or sentence.

Some less common cases are an epistrophe, which is repetition at the end of a sentence or clause, and a symploce, which combines both anaphora and epistrophe, meaning that it is repetition of the same phrase at the beginning AND the end of a sentence or clause.

What role do primaries play in the local, state, and federal
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Primary elections or often just primaries, are the process by which voters can indicate their preference for their party's candidate, or a candidate in general, in an upcoming general election, local election, or by-election. Depending on the country and administrative divisions within the country, voters might consist of the general public in what is called an open primary, or solely the members of a political party in what is called a closed primary. In addition to these, there are other variants on primaries (which are discussed below) that are used by many countries holding elections throughout the world.

The origins of primary elections can be traced to the progressive movement in the United States, which aimed to take the power of candidate nomination from party leaders to the people.[1] However, political parties control the method of nomination of candidates for office in the name of the party, and other methods of selecting candidates include caucuses, conventions, and nomination meetings.

lakkis [162]
<span>Regarding integrity, “discerning what is right and what is wrong . . . captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness” (Carter).

The parentheses in this sentence is being used to cite the source of the quotation. It is important to put the parentheses around the author's last name and inside of the period it is associated with. By putting the parentheses inside the period, the sentence includes the citation and clearly shows that the citation belongs to Carter. If (Carter) was outside of the period, it would not be clear whether the citation belongs to the sentence before or after. The other options are wrong when Carter is used as the subject of the sentence.
