Explanation:

An anecdote is a short, personal story. In persuasive writing, authors use anecdotes to make their points more relatable and engaging. Let's analyze each option:

• "When a writer emphasizes a point by saying it multiple times" describes repetition, not an anecdote.
• "A creative way of using words and expressions that go beyond their literal meanings" refers to figurative language.
