What types of rhetorical devices are used in the following sentence?

They would like more time off in the summer, for holidays, and on weekends.

A) repetition epistrophe

B) repetition anaphora

C) parallelism

D) repetition anadiplosis

Answer: Both C) and D)

Explanation: Their is a anadiplosis repetition when asking for time off during the summer, holidays, and weekends. Parallelism is the use of similar grammatical constructions to express ideas that are related or of equal importance. Thus, both C) and D) are correct!

The correct option is c) "Parallelism"

Parallelism is a writing device used to add information using the same pattern and grammar structure. In this sentence the same pattern preposition + noun is used. The examples are: "in the summer" and "on holidays"

Option A) "repetition epistrophe" is incorrect since it repeats the same word or phrase at the end of successive verses.

Option B) "repetition anaphora" is incorrect since it repeats the same word or phrase at the beginning of successive verses.

Option D) "repetition anadiplosis" is incorrect since it repeats the same word or phrase at the end of a verse and at the beginning of the next one.
