Answer 2

The statements which are examples of asyndeton are:

She was caring, thoughtful, accepting of everyone, accommodating of individuality, fostering an accepting environment.

The brothers, who were skilled at chess, won hundreds of dollars every year from chess competitions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Asyndeton is a literary technique used to emphasize a point by omitting conjunctions (or, and, for, but, nor, so, still). Its use can increase the rhythm of a paragraph and enhance the memorability of a particular notion. Syndeton (syndetic coordination) and polysyndeton, which describe the usage of one or several coordinating conjunctions, respectively, can be contrasted with asyndeton.

Julius Caesar, for instance, emphasized the significance of his victory by omitting the word "and" between the phrases "I arrived. I saw. I conquered." This series of words is strong enough on its own, but the absence of the word "and" somehow makes it much more imposing.

The other statements are not examples because of the use of 'and' in the statements.

This is more like history :) when we talk about Julius Casear!
