Answer:

1. Satire

2. Repetition

3. Rhetorical questions

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first excerpt, Swift employs satire when he talks about how delicious a cooked baby could be. Swift uses humorous and extreme ideas in order to criticize the faults of society. In the second excerpt, Martin Luther King Jr. uses repetition in order to give his speech a more rhythmic and persuasive tone, as well as make it more memorable. Finally, in the last excerpt, Kennedy employs rhetorical questions in order to force his audience to think about what he is asking.
