Which of the following is an example of anaphora?

"I don't know why I keep coming back, but I do."
"She was beautiful, and she was clever."
"I can never forget that day when..."
"The stars twinkled in the night sky."

The correct answer is: "I don't know why I keep coming back, but I do."

Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of multiple clauses or sentences. Option A, "I don't know why I keep coming back, but I do," is an example of anaphora because the phrase "I" is repeated at the beginning of both clauses. Option B only repeats the conjunction "and," which is not an example of anaphora. Option C does not have any repetition at the beginning of the clauses. Option D does not have any repetition at all. Therefore, option A is the only example of anaphora.
