Answer: To make the language more memorable
Explanation:
In speech, we often emphasize certain words which carry an important message. This is often done by politicians and professional speakers who deliver their speech in front of a mass of people. In doing so, we are hoping that our audience remembers the speech and the ideas we are trying to convey. By emphasizing our words and phrases, our speech is more persuasive.
The first and the third sentences contain parallel structures. Parallel structure, or parallelism, is the repetition of the same grammatical structure or form within a sentence, so it becomes more balanced, and, therefore, more readable and clear to understand.
In the first sentence, the parallel structure has been used in the comparison: "... would make war <em>rather than let</em> the nation survive and accept war<em> rather than let</em> it perish..."
In the third sentence the same grammatical form has been used too: "<em>all dreaded it </em>(1) <em>all sought to</em> avert <em>it </em>(2)."
"C" Seems like the most likely answer, it's a metaphor.
