The answer would be C. By using parallel structure, Roosevelt emphasizes the challenge the country faces in transitioning from peacetime to wartime.
The literary device parallelism is employed to emphasize how hard it is prepare for a wartime scenario. Parallelism is used mostly to provide emphasis in many moving passages and is efficient when trying to persuade or convince one's audience.
Example:
It was dark because a new era was upon the nation. It was dark because change was coming. It was dark because the struggle had only begun.
In this example, repeating the phrase "It was dark" places emphasis on the ominous tone of the prompt and allows the reader to feel the gravity of the situation.
The author did not limit himself to literal language because he knew that figurative language would give more expressiveness and depth to the text.
As you did not show the text to which your question refers, it is not possible to show the use of figurative language in the text, but it is possible to state the reasons that led the author to use this type of language.
In the question above, we can see that the author made use of the simile, a figure of speech that allows the comparison between two elements, increasing the meaning between them.
This objective is very common in authors who use any type of figurative language in their texts. This is because figurative language can:
- Intensify parts of the text.
- Make the text deeper.
- Show more expressiveness.
- Create more impactful meanings.
- Force the reader's thinking.
- Approach topics with greater delicacy, or more aggressiveness.
It is important to emphasize that figurative language does not have a literal meaning of the words, but something more subjunctive, unlike the literal language.

The purpose of Mandela's speech was not simply to address the nation as their new president and give gratitude to those who put him there but instead to make a statement that South Africa was going to make immense changes and unify to show the world what the nation could truly do in order to become a land of hope. There are a few purposes to this speech, one being to unify the nation of south Africa by bringing the blacks and the whites together. The speech was also used to motivate and inspire the people of South Africa. I know this because I've studied Mandela's life in one of my subjects at school.
The audience for this speech was the people of South Africa. He addresses every one he possibly can to broaden his audience so that every South African hears his message.
Nelson Mandela
"I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people."
Mandela repeats the word negotiations as he wants to encourage and push for more negotiations - a thing that will bring them closer to freedom.
