breaks from the blue-black
skin of the water, dragging her shell
with its mossy scutes
across the shallows and through the rushes
and over the mudflats, to the uprise,
to the yellow sand,
to dig with her ungainly feet
a nest, and hunker there spewing
her white eggs down
into the darkness, and you think

The word "to" is repeated on three continuous lines. With this, we can see that option C is the correct answer.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The word "to" is repeated on the fifth, sixth, and seventh lines.
  • These lines represent the turtle's movement and the word "to" is repeated to emphasize the slowness of the movements, which will allow the turtle to walk slowly.

Based on this, we can say that repetition is a very efficient literary device to highlight something that is not directly described in the text. Through the repetition of words, authors manage to convey sensations that would not be perceived in a literal text.
