Answer:

A caesura

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a literary device that consists of a rhythmical pause in a poetic line or a sentence. It often occurs in the middle of a line but can be placed at the beginning and the end of it. It could also occur with punctuation but not always.

It is indicated by a parallel symbol: II.

I hope this answer helps you.
