Sample Answer:  
Repetition helps make ideas clearer and more memorable by emphasising important points. In the passage, the phrase “keep trying” is repeated by Kavya, which builds confidence and encourages persistence. It makes her message stronger and easier to remember. Similarly, in daily life, a teacher may repeat instructions to ensure students understand clearly. Repetition also creates rhythm, making communication more engaging. Therefore, using repetition helps people express ideas effectively and ensures that the message stays in the listener’s mind.
