Read the last line from Patrick Henry's speech I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death ! What two rhetorical strategies does he most clearly use here?

D. He uses parallelism to build pathos.

Explanation:

Parallelism is the use of words with similar grammatical structures in the same sentence. The words may sound alike or have the same meter. Pathos is a rhetorical strategy that appeals to emotions. In the sentence above, the speaker uses words with similar grammatical structures. An example is; give me liberty, or give me death !

Pathos is built because the speaker campaigned for liberty even if it cost him death. This would stir the emotions of his audience to fight for liberty.
