Answer:

Repetition and anaphora

Step-by-step explanation:

Repetition is usually defined as the repeated use of the same word (in this isntance, "that") as a rhetorical device.

Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase ("that") at the beginning of successive clauses or beginning of sentences.
