The first excerpt is satire because satire is the use of humor, irony, or exaggeration. 

The second excerpt is repetition. The phrase, "Now is the time..." is being repeated.

The third excerpt is rhetorical questions. Throughout the excerpt, there are questions being asked which the readers aren't supposed to be answered. Instead, the questions are there to make a point.

Read this excerpt from Ani's evaluation of Dan DeLuca's argument in his article "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics
Afina-wow [57]

Ani says that Dan Deluca wrote an article that contradicts his stance of the Nobel being well deserved at times, the two sentences of said article that show this kind of contradiction are:

Many of Dylan’s most fervently loved songs—some of which actually are love songs—date from the 1960s, and his being honored at age 75 can be seen as an ultimate affirmation for the baby boomer generation.

and

And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing.

this is because they say that the Nobel might be a product of simple nostalgia and they undermine Dylan as an artist, plus these seem to not be quotes from detractors but something Dan DeLuca is saying himself

What can you infer from lewis's vivid description of the way the team leaders ate the extra cookies
Serga [27]

After hearing Lewis's description about the way the team leaders ate the extra cookies, it can be inferred that when you receive power, especially when you feel it was given to you arbitrarily, you assume you deserve more and better things than the rest of the people. You behold yourself as a lucky person, and lucky people have the right of grabbing other people's production.

Gnoma [55]

She was young yet carried herself with great confidence, and her clear eyes locked onto mine and oozed kindness.

This is the best choice because it describes Dr. Perez in a way that would explain why Rachel was no longer anxious about her dental visit. Earlier in the passage, Rachel describes her previous dentist as being nice, which seems to be the quality she liked most. This is a quality that she would value in her new dentist. In the additional sentence, she describes Dr. Perez as oozing kindness. Her reassuring eye contact and confident movements also provide comfort to Rachel.
