• Asyndeton: Focuses on the omission of conjunctions. So, it matches with definition B.
• Irony: Involves saying the opposite (for effect). So, it matches with F.
• Metonymy: Replaces a name with an associated one. So, it matches with D.

• Zeugma: A word applying to two others in different senses. So, it matches with E.

Antithesis - C, Asyndeton - B, Irony - F, Metonymy - D, Synecdoche - A, Zeugma - E
