The options are incomplete. Next came the Tin Pan Bangers. Some had dishpans, some had frying pans, some had potato peeling pans. All the pans were tin with tight tin bottoms.

Repetition is a rhetorical device that happens when the same sound or word is repeated in a phrase. There are several types, and alliteration is one of them; it consists in repeating the first consonant sound of a word, putting several sounds like this in one phrase or sentence. In the example, we can see the repetition of the "b" and "p" sound as in "potato peeling pans" or "bangers on the bottoms"; as an example of repetition, the word "pans" appears several times.

Explanation:

The first passage talks of death striking several people, adults and children. It mentions new kinds of illnesses and people dying just a few hours after the symptoms appear. It is quite a horrifying account, making the passage dark, scary.

On the other hand, the second passage conveys its message in a much lighter way. The author is defending the idea that using Sequoia trees to make lumber is as much a waste as it would be to kill and cook George Washington. The trees and Washington have much more to offer than such ridiculous purposes. That comparison, as well as the description of the Sequoia tree coming to town to defend its own cause, are humorous, making the passage light.
