Which of the following passages from Kennedy's address includes anaphora?

O A. Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation
are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first.
B. If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is
that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined
and cannot be deterred.
C. No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but
condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man's recorded history in
a time span of but a half a century.
D. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to
the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it
governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom
and peace.

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

An anaphora is the repetition of a word/phrase at the beginning of multiple sentences in a paragraph, essay, etc. In A, Kennedy repeats the phrase “this Nation” twice, along with “first” in the same sentences.
