Answer:

D. personification

Step-by-step explanation:

When the authors say “Ralph wasn't swept up by anti-Japanese sentiment” they employ personification.

Personification is a phenomenon in which human like characteristics are given to non human things.

In the above phrase, the phrase "swept up by anti-Japanese sentiment" means giving the characteristics of humans such as swept up to anti human phrases such as anti Japanese ideologies.
