Answer:
1. "They do not sweat and whine about their condition" - in this sentence the "figure of speech" used is tautology.
This sort of "figure of speech" involves two or more words in a sentence which have the similar meaning. Here the words “sweat and whine” Conveys the same meaning.
2. "They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins" - in this sentence the " figure of speech" used is allitration as the letter d is repeated.
3. "They do not make me sick" - in this sentence the "figure of speech" used is personification.
The sound "the" is repeated in the words "they" and "their".
The sound "d" is repeated in the words "d" in the words "do", "discussing", and "duty".
