Explanation:

The loaded language can be observed in sentences that have words with strong meaning and implications that are used to persuade the audience through emotion, logic or ethics.

The analogy occurs when a sentence presents a subjunctive comparison between objects that are not similar, but that can impose a meaning on each other.

Parallelism is observed when two clauses are placed next to each other and have the same structure and the same meaning, or have a sequence of meanings that are completed.

Repetition can be observed in sentences that repeat words in a short time to reinforce their meaning.
