Read the excerpt below from act 3.2 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows.


BRUTUS:

But as he was ambitious, I slew him. . . .

Who is here so base that would be a bondman?

If any, speak, for him have I offended. Who is here so rude that

would not be a Roman? If any, speak, for him have I offended.

Who is here so vile that will not love his country? If any, speak,

for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.




Which rhetorical device does Brutus use in this excerpt?

Aantithesis
Bparalipsis
Cepimone
Dmetonymy

Verified Answer :

I believe the answer is "C." Brutus repeats the phrase "Who is here...." in every question he asks in this passage which gives emphasis on a specific point the speaker is making.

C.

Epimone is the repetition of a specific phrase or question; the question here is "Who is here..."
