Answer: D.Repetition

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, In the third paragraph of Dr. King's speech, "I have a dream," several rhetorical devices were used; the most noticeable is the repetition of certain phrases or words at the beginning of each or almost every sentence of the paragraph.

He repeats the sentence “one hundred years later” over and over to drive his argument.

“But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.”
