Answer 2

Answer:

A) By repeating words, the speaker creates a dramatic delivery to emphasize an important point.

Explanation:

In this passage, we see that the author is repeating concepts and ideas. He presents them side by side, in order to encourage a comparison in the mind of the reader. The first concept has a positive connotation, while the second one has a negative one (ex. celebration-sham, boasted liberty-unholy license, national greatness-swelling vanity, etc.) This helps create a dramatic delivery that emphasizes an important point.
