The incomplete question, I inferred from a general knowledge of the types of rhetorical strategies.
Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some common rhetorical strategies:
1. Epistrophe
The strategy employed here involves a deliberate repetition of a word or phrase at the end of each sentence.
For example, note the phrase in the bracket from Abraham Lincoln's quote
“… that government of (the people), by (the people), for (the people), shall not perish from the earth.”

“fight" in France, (we shall fight) on the seas and oceans, (we shall fight) with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, (we shall) defend our island, whatever the cost may be. (We shall fight) on the beaches, (we shall fight) on the landing grounds, (we shall fight) in the fields and in the streets, (we shall fight ) in the hills…”
