PLEASE HELP NEED TO KNOW ASAP!!!Read the passage from a speech by President Barack Obama.

Mr. Secretary General; Your Excellencies, we are here because, right now, in crowded camps and cities around the world, there are families . . . who’ve endured years . . . as refugees, surviving on rations and aid, and who dream of someday, somehow, having a home of their own.

We’re here because, right now, there are young girls . . . who’ve suffered unspeakable abuse . . . who pray at night that someone might rescue them from their torment. . . .

We are here because, right now, there are mothers separated from their children—like the woman in a camp in Greece, who held on to her family photographs . . . and who said "my breath is my children . . . every day I am dying 10, 20, 30 times.”

Which rhetorical device does Obama use in this passage?

understatement
tricolon
anaphora
allusion

The correct answer is: Anaphora.


An anaphora is a device consisting of the repetition of sequences of words at the beginning of each clause in a text with the objective of giving them emphasis.

As seen in the passage, each of the clauses start with the phrase "We are here because, right now...", thus emphasizing the text within the clauses and fulfilling the requirement of an anaphora.
