After identifying a language technique an author has used, you should ask:

did the author use this technique correctly?
how can i use this technique in my own writing?
what is the meaning and effect of this technique?
when have i seen this technique used before?

'What is the meaning and effect of this technique?' should be correct.

One of the main tools of a successful text interpretation is to understand which writing features an author is using and its respective effects. Since the literary techniques (a.k.a. 'language techniques') are often used by authors to give their written ideas more emphasis and make them stand out, besides conveying and heightening meaning to them, the more you know about these devices, the better reader you are.

The correct answer is what is the meaning and effect of this technique.
