In this excerpt from his famous address at 'Rice University' on the Nation's Space Effort' uses 'assonance' to make his speech more meaningful and effective. Assonance is the literary device that involves the repetition of identical vowel sounds in order to set the mood and reinforce an idea. Kennedy in the given excerpt, uses assonance as displayed by words 'meet', 'noted', 'knowledge', 'progress', 'strength', 'change', 'challenge', 'hope', 'fear', 'ignorance', etc. As we witness the constant repetition of vowel 'e' that demonstrates assonance. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
