B. It places an emphasis on the necessity to fight for their country
C. It reinforces the exceptional nature and rarity of the country
D. It emphasizes that he wishes for a country like he describes existed.
Answer: B. It places an emphasis on the necessity to fight for their country
Step-by-step explanation:
An anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase for a rhetorical or dramatic impact. Jefferson's repetition of the word "country" accentuates the importance of the rebellion, as none country has gone without a rebellion for longer than a century and a half, while each state had over lasted their time for peace.
