c)

neither a nor b

The correct answer is A.

In churchill's speech, "we Shall Fight Them on the Beaches", We can find Repetition and Enumeration.

The speaker uses enumeration and repetition in his speech to underline certain ideas and create a dramatic memorable effect.

For example: Churchill states that he has full confidence that British will defend themselves no matter how long and how difficult the fight might be.

And he warns the audience that Britanian might be in a very dificulty fight, even more so if France were defeated.

To achieve this, he uses repetition in: "If necessary for years, if necessary alone".

And the repetition of the phrases: "we shall" and "we..."

a)  The repetition instills confidence in the listener that the soldiers will not give up.

Explanation:

beginner

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
