Which rhetorical technique is the speaker using?

appeal

overstatement

parallelism

shift

The rhetorical technique is the speaker using Overstatement. Thus option "B" is correct.

<h3>What is an overstatement?</h3>

Overstatement is a rhetorical technique that occurs when the speaker uses exaggeration to show the importance of one issue. This means the speaker overstates a situation to evoke feelings on the audience and make it accept his ideas. In the excerpt presented, the speaker is using overstatement, because he exaggerates the effects building a new stadium could have as he states "millions would flock to town", "Profits would soar", and "your legacy as the best principal ever would be established" which are all exaggerated suppositions.

Thus, the rhetorical technique the speaker is using is an overstatement.
