Answer 2

Actually let me explain what each type is.

Answer 3

Eponym- A word that is derived from the proper name of a real or mythical person or place.
Apophasis- is a rhetorical device wherein the speaker or writer brings up a subject by either denying it, or denying that it should be brought up.
Anastrophe- A form of literary device wherein the order of the noun and the adjective in the sentence is exchanged. In standard parlance and writing the adjective comes before the noun but when one is employing an anastrophe the noun is followed by the adjective. This reversed order creates a dramatic impact and lends weight to the description offered by the adjective.
Amplification- refers to a literary practice wherein the writer embellishes the sentence by adding more information to it in order to increase its worth and understandability. When a plain sentence is too abrupt and fails to convey the full implications desired, amplification comes into play when the writer adds more to the structure to give it more meaning.
