Question

When Stanton writes, "Such was the consistency of an assemblage of philanthropists!" (paragraph 7), she uses the rhetorical device of O a. repetition. O b. hyperbole. O C. sarcasm. O d. analogy​

Answer 1

OC. Sarcasm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elizabeth Cady Stanton recounts her experience attending the World Anti-Slavery Convention that occurred on June 12, 1840. She reveals how the very aspect of the Convention was to talk of freeing slaves but the men refused to accept the female gender as their equal, which is ironic.

In paragraph 7, Stanton writes "Such was the consistency of an assemblage of philanthropists", referring to the abolitionists who would fight for slaves' freedom while refusing to accept their women as equals. This statement is a sarcastic and ironic tone.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
