allusion
B
synecdoche
C
antithesis
D
irony

Explanation

The excerpt contrasts what the United States does not need—division, hatred, violence, and lawlessness—with what it does need: love, wisdom, compassion, and justice. This sharp contrast between opposing ideas is antithesis, so the correct choice is “antithesis.”
