Explanation:

The problem involves analyzing rhetorical devices in FDR's speeches, which falls under the Arts discipline, specifically Literature (subfield) as it deals with textual analysis of political speeches, identifying devices like parallelism (in the first example with repeated "We should..." structure) and explaining their rhetorical impact. For the first question "What device is seen here?" in the 18 - 20 paragraphs example, the device is parallelism (or repetition of "We should..." structure) as each sentence starts with "We should" and presents a policy action, creating a rhythmic, persuasive list to emphasize necessary actions.

Answer:

The rhetorical device seen in Paragraphs 18 - 20 (combined) is parallelism (or repetition). The sentences "We should bring more citizens...", "We should widen the opportunities...", and "We should plan a better system..." all follow the "We should + action" structure, creating parallelism to emphasize the multiple necessary actions.
