Answer:

Anaphora "It ought to be possible" to emphasize the lack of equality.

Explanation:

Anaphora is referred to as the literary device using repetition of certain phrases to emphasize the implied message and convey it more effectively. In this excerpt, President Kennedy highlights the inequality and injustice experienced by black Americans by using "Anaphora". She repeats the phrase "it ought to be possible" several times in this excerpt to urge the audiences to lay the foundation of an America which is free from 'Racial segregation' and where all the Americans would be treated with equal services at every place. She uses "ought to" that suggests 'the right thing to be done' and i.e. implicit of the liberty to live life, right to vote and equal treatment with all the privileges to all the Americans(including the African-American) which is of prime importance to her.

Verizon [17]

The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, If any of my kinsmen find thee here.

Any is the indefinite pronoun because it means something like "it does not matter who of my kinsmen as long as the person is one of my kinsmen" although Present Day English demands agreement as third person singular (if any of you agrees) in the passage the agreement is third person plural because from the point of view of meaning [any of my kinsmen] can be replaced as they and the verb find agrees with this plural idea.

Present Day British English has this kind of agreement called collective noun which grammatically can function like the pronoun they, for example as in the committee have started the meeting). The word police is another example of collective noun by taking third person plural agreement as in the sentence The police have arrived.

"The mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance."

The above passage conveys the courage of the resistance movement. In particular the reader is persuaded by the words "bravery" and "danger" in "...deeds of bravery..." and "...fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day...".
