D. Simile

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) Anaphora

Explanation:

The literary device Turner is using is 'anaphora'. This is because anaphora basically refers to the repetition of word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses, and in the above except, the word 'behind' begins the clause and is also repeated; thus giving a perfect example of anaphora in a clause.
