Answer 1

A) none because all are true

1. B- Concessio means you are validating the other person's argument,
2. dubitation: a figure of speech, a passage in which a writer or speaker expresses or feigns doubt
3. aporia means an expression of doubt or uncertainty (whether genuine or feigned)
4. and metanoia is to retract a statement and then state it in a better way.
5. C- a metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
6. Metonymy is a figure of speech that uses a word closely related to an object or concept, instead of the object or concept itself.
7. figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa
8. E- Code grooming is a rhetorical technique that uses insider language to get an audience to identify with you. For example, when speaking to Christian groups, George W. Bush repeated the word “believe” and the guy used Code grooming to compliment the hand bag brand, because he is implying he has knowledge of that brand
