Ummm sorry to burst you bubble but where is the question to answer?
A) The city has many other cities and towns under its sway. This is the only answer in which there is nothing to argue about, all other choices you could provide something to contrary of the statement.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The underlined words in this excerpt from “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe are examples of repetition. It is a<span> literary device that repeats the same words or phrases a few times to make an idea clearer. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
