Answer 1

## Step 1The first step in identifying the rhetorical device used in a passage is to understand the meaning of each option. - Understatement: This is a figure of speech employed by writers to intentionally make a situation seem less important than it actually is.- Tricolon: This is a rhetorical device that involves the use of three parallel words, phrases, or clauses.- Anaphora: This is a rhetorical device where a word or phrase is repeated at the beginning of successive clauses.- Allusion: This is a figure of speech where an indirect reference to a person, place, thing, or idea of historical, cultural, literary, or political significance is made.## Step 2Next, we analyze the passage to identify the rhetorical device used. In this case, we can see that the phrase "We are here because, right now," is repeated at the beginning of several successive clauses. This repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses is a clear example of anaphora.## Step 3Finally, we compare the identified rhetorical device with the options provided. The rhetorical device used in the passage is anaphora, which corresponds to option C.
