Answer 2

The correct answer is:

A. repetition and parallelism to convey this connection.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the excerpt the author uses a style for his writing based in repetition and parallelism choices. It is possible to say that he uses a repetitive literal choice, since he chooses an entire group of words to describe an idea as he mentions several participants or objects of the same kind to explain the purpose of the composition. At the same time, the author is using a parallel structure because he uses the same structure several times to show his ideas about the concept he wants to show to the reader.
