PLEASE HELP Read the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.’s "The American Dream” speech.

America is essentially a dream, a dream as yet unfulfilled. It is a dream of a land where men of all races, of all nationalities and of all creeds can live together as brothers.


Now read the excerpt from Governor George Wallace's inaugural address.


And so it was meant in our political lives . . . whether Republican, Democrat, Prohibition, or whatever political party . . . each striving from his separate political station . . . respecting the rights of others to be separate and work from within their political framework . . . and each separate political station making its contribution to our lives. . . .


And so it was meant in our racial lives . . . each race, within its own framework has the freedom to teach . . . to instruct . . . to develop . . . to ask for and receive deserved help from others of separate racial stations.

Answer:

the use of repetition

Step-by-step explanation:

According the excerpts from Martin Luther King Jr.’s "The American Dream” speech and Governor George Wallace's inaugural address, Martin Luther King repeats the word "dream" to make his speech more effective while Governor Wallace repeats the word "lives" to connect to the audience better and make his speech more effective.

Therefore, the technique that makes both excerpts effective is the use of repetition
