Make pain to them the excellence of killing


What literary device is used and what effect does it have on the interpretation?

AHe uses irony because it is actually not virtuous or excellent to kill.
BHe uses imagery because you can visualize the soldiers slaughtering and killing.
CHe alludes to a past war.
DHe uses alliteration because the words suggest the sound of slaughtering and killing.

A seems to be the best answer because killing is not excellent and slaughtering is not virtuous. 

And, there is no alliteration used (D), it could be C but nothing of a past war is mentioned, you'd need more knowledge, and it wouldn't be B becasue it really isn't putting a image in your head.
