Which of the following best describes the effect of Jefferson’s use of anaphora in the following quote from source 1? “What country before, ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties”

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.

B. It places an emphasis on the necessity to fight for their country.

Explanation:

Anaphora refers to repetition of the beginning of a sentence in subsequent sentences in order to emphasize the importance of what is being said.

In this case, Jefferson used anaphora in order to place an emphasis on the necessity to fight for one's country in order to preserve the liberties conferred on them by virtue of being citizens of the country.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
