"there is no negro problem . there is no southern problem. there is no northern problem. there is only an american problem. " what does the technique of repetition promote in johnson's speech? a) shame b)clarity c)power d)acceptance

In my opinion, the correct answer is B) clarity. By using the repetition, the author tries to clarify what this problem isn't - by its nature it isn't Negro, Southern, or Northern. And then, he affirms what it is - it is American. Therefore, he says that compartmentalizing this problem is not going to help. People have to understand it for what it really is - everyone's problem, the problem of the nation itself.
