Question

read the excerpt from \what to the slave is the fourth of july?\
to him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.
what is the effect of the repetition of \your\?
it reinforces the speakers feeling of separation.
it suggests a dialogue between speaker and audience.
it indicates that the speaker is addressing a large crowd.
it reminds the reader of the speakers identity.

Explanation:

The repetition of "your" emphasizes a division. The speaker (a slave) contrasts his own experience with the experiences of those being addressed. By repeatedly using "your," he highlights that the celebrations, liberties, etc., belong to others (the non - slave audience) and not to him. This creates a sense of separation between the speaker (a member of the enslaved community) and the audience (presumably the white, free - people celebrating the Fourth of July).

Answer:

It reinforces the speaker's feeling of separation.
