Detailed explanation-1: -Roosevelt said: Yesterday, December 7, 1941-a date which will live in infamy-the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
Detailed explanation-2: -On December 8, 1941, the day after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt delivered this “Day of Infamy Speech.” Immediately afterward, Congress declared war, and the United States entered World War II.
Detailed explanation-3: -Male: President Franklin D. Roosevelt called December 7, 1941, a date that would live in infamy. When Japanese fighter planes brazenly bombed the American military base at Pearl Harbor, the nation was left stunned and grieving, and America was plunged into war.
Detailed explanation-4: -Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island” ( FDR’s speech, lines 22-25). This shows anaphora because Roosevelt repeats the phrase “Last night” at the beginning of each sentence for emphasis.
