:) Which of these excerpts from Carl Sandburg's "Three Boys with Jugs of Molasses and Secret Ambitions" uses repetition? 1. And then because their secret ambition began to hurt them they all stood with hands on each other's shoulders and sang the Mexico Joe song. 2. And when they jumped up and ran out of the potato rows, Mr. Sniggers thought they were boys playing tricks. 3. They went to the railroad stations and bought tickets for the fast trains and the slow trains and even the trains that back up and run backward instead of where they start to go. 4. One morning while they were waiting to take an express train on the Early Ohio & Southwestern they sat near the roots of a big potato plant under the big green leaves. 5. A big drop of paris green spattered down and fell onto the heads and shoulders of all three, Eeta Peeca Pie, Meeny Miney and Miney Mo.
