Question

it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. - a tale of two cities by charles dickens (rhetorical device)
analogy
repetition
juxtaposition
hyperbole

Explanation:

The quote "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" from A Tale of Two Cities uses juxtaposition, as it places contrasting ideas ("best" and "worst") of the same "times" side by side to highlight a paradox. Repetition repeats the same phrase, analogy compares unlike things, and hyperbole exaggerates—none fit as well as juxtaposition here.

Answer:

Juxtaposition
