Read the following excerpt from patrick henry's speech and answer the question.

sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. we have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and parliament.

the purpose of the parallel language in this example is to
describe what it is like to surrender to an enemy
show how a balance of power can be created
emphasize the importance of past actions
suggest how long the colonists will have to wait for freedom
