Read this passage from "the american dream."

one of the first things we notice in this dream is an amazing universalism. it does not say some men, but it says all men. it does not say all white men, but it says all men, which includes black men. it does not say all gentiles, but it says all men, which includes jews. it does not say all protestants, but it says all men, which includes catholics.

which is the most likely reason that the speaker repeats the word “men” in the passage?

a “men” functions as a keyword that create a rhythm.
b “men” emphasizes the subject the speaker is interested in discussing.
c “men” functions as a key point in the speaker’s logical argument.
d “men” emphasizes the differences the speaker wants to show.

C: "Men" functions as a key point in the speaker's logical argument.

 The speaker affirms that the universalism is 'one of the first things we notice in this dream',  and he uses this concept to develop his argument. By employing the key word "men", he is able to refer to this idea every time he wishes to call attention and to include a neglected group (black men, Jews and Catholics.). This is the most likely reason for that repetition.

repetition is used to emphasize a feeling or idea, create rhythm, and/or develop a sense of urgency.

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.
