Answer 1

It is C

Just so its 20 characters

Answer 2

c) Repetition for effect​

Step-by-step explanation:

The author uses repetition, which is an rhetorical device, in order to covey certain meaning, to add emphasis, unity, power and an artistic effect to the ideas of both characters doing the same (running up and down and following something) but with different aims, perhaps in order to contrast that while the male's attention was on a superficial thing, like a ball, the speaker's attention was on a real person.
