One of the rhetorical techniques that Jefferson uses in the Declaration of Independence is repetition. This is used to great effect in the body of the document, as he is listing the grievances that the colonists hold against the King. After starting the declaration with a logical account of the colonists’ need to establish independence, Jefferson then delineates all of the reasons that King George has given them to revolt. He gives 27different transgressions that King George has committed, all beginning with the words “He has” or “For.” The first one, for example, is
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
The effect of repetition in this section of the document is to emphasize how unfairly the British have treated the colonies. Putting all the grievances together in this fashion, with the repeated introductory word(s) gives the impression that the list just goes “on and on.”
The correct answer is option letter B (a successful and hardworking businessman). By definition, a <u>stereotype</u> is a very firm idea about what a particular type of person is like. In this case, the most likely stereotype one can spot in the phrase presented above is the one of <em>a successful and hardworking businessman</em>. One usually has the idea of a businessman who is constantly working or even overworking. In fact, the narrator <u>exaggerates</u> this idea of the hardworking businessman by using a literary technique called “exaggeration”. For instance, the amount of emails that Fred Johnson will be checking (“<em>checking the four thousand emails</em>”).
Answer:
- The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.

Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the story "In a Native Village" by Louis Becke.
These are the options that come with this question:
- The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
- The narrator bribes the authorities to ensure that he has power and preference over the villagers.
- The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
- The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.
- The narrator establishes a series of declarations and rules to assert authority over the villagers.
In this story, we learn about the experiences of a European man in an island off the coast of Australia. This man arrived to the village with a couple of prized pigs. This, as well as his wealth, is meant to establish him as a leader in the community. However, contrary to expectations, the men in the island do not respect him. Moreover, they constantly trick him and take advantage of him. This shows that the narrator's power over the natives is only an illusion.
