Read the following passage from "Every Man a King":
[T]hey own just as much as they did, and probably a little bit more; they hold just as many of the debts of the common people as they ever held, and probably a little bit more; and unless we, my friends, are going to give the people of this country a fair shake of the dice, by which they will all get something out of the funds of this land, there is not a chance on the topside of this God's eternal earth by which we can rescue this country and rescue the people of this country.
Which phrase is an example of epistrophe?

B. topside f this God's eternal earth
C. and probably a little bit more

Respuesta :

Answer:

C. and probably a little bit more

Explanation:

An epistrophe (also called epiphora) is a figure of speech in which the same word or phrase is repeated at the ends of successive phrases, clauses, or sentences.

In the given passage, we can notice that the same phrase is repeated at the end of the first two clauses:

  • [T]hey own just as much as they did, and probably a little bit more;
  • they hold just as many of the debts of the common people as they ever held, and probably a little bit more...

To find the right answer, we need to see which option contains the phrase a little bit more. The only option that does is option C, which is why it is the correct one.
