Maximilian Harmon · Answer 2

Answer: B) repetition anadiplosis, and D) repetition anaphora.

Explanation: Anadiplosis is a form of repetition in which the last word of one clause or sentence is repeated as the first word of the following clause or sentence, as we can see in the repetition of the word "anger" and "hate." Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses, as we can see in the repetition of the word "fear" at the beginning of the first two lines.
