Answer 1

'A rhetorical device is a use of language that is intended to have an effect on its audience. Repetition, figurative language, and even rhetorical questions are all examples of rhetorical devices.'

Answer 2

So which one do you see in the sentences? Remember...

Metaphor - compares two things by stating one is the other - The running girl is a cheetah catching her prey.

Rhetorical Question - A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question that is asked in order to make a point, rather than to elicit an answer. - Who knows?, Ok?, Are you stupid?

Antithesis - makes a connection between two things - “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” (Neil Armstrong)

Anadiplosis - the repetition of the last word of a preceding clause. The word is used at the end of a sentence and then used again at the beginning of the next sentence.
