Explanation:

Repetition is exemplified as one of the most commonly employed rhetorical device that involves repetitions of certain words or phrases with an aim to create rhythm and melody that would attract the readers' attention towards a specific idea and make it more notable.

In the given excerpt, the effect that is being created by the repetition of the word 'I' would be that it emphasizes the idea of personal significance that Douglass has for the issue of 'slavery' that is being described in the text. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

The answer that best describes the effect of the repetition of the word "I" throughout the poem is the second choice - It reinforces the sense of personal importance the issue has for Douglass.

The Fourth of July celebrates independence that America gained from England, however, given that the slaves were unaffected by this change, Douglass felt the need to write a poem about a mere slave whose life hasn't been changed at all after his new country gained independence. 

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to
