The rhetorical device that is NOT being used in this presentation is metaphor, as stated in option C and further explained below.

<h3>What is a rhetorical device?</h3>

Rhetorical devices are techniques used by authors or speaker in order to persuade the audience of something. This question requires us to analyze the presentation and figure out which rhetorical device is NOT being used.

Let's break each device down below:

  • Personal pronouns: They are used in the passage. The speaker or author chooses to use "we" as a way to persuade readers that everyone should be involved.
  • Simile: It is used. There is a simile in the line "This problem is like a toothache."
  • Metaphor: It is NOT used. A metaphor is a comparison that, unlike a simile, does not use the words "like" or "as". There is no such comparison in the presentation.
  • Rhetorical question: it is used. The very opening of the passage is the rhetorical question, "How long can we ignore the obesity problem in this country?"

With the information above in mind, we can choose option C as the correct answer for this question.

mart [117]

Answer:

B). "He found that children and adults who have read stories their whole lives were more likely to correctly identify the feelings and thoughts of others than those who do not read regularly."

C). "Trying to understand these characters exercises the same mental muscle that helps us understand people in the real world."

Explanation:

The above two evidence factually support and substantiate the claim that 'people who read stories are better at communicating and understanding the feelings of others.'

The first evidence i.e. option B states that <u>the research revealed 'the children or adults who have been reading stories constantly their whole lives are able to recognize the thoughts or feelings of others more accurately' while the second evidence i.e. option C asserts logically that 'in attempt to understand the characters of stories, the same mental muscle is required for understanding people in real life.'</u>

Thus, these two pieces of evidence not only support but substantiates how reading comprehends our understanding of thoughts, opinions, or feelings of others. Hence, <u>options B and C</u> are the correct answers.

kiruha [24]

Shifting the focus to how the author needs his mother's support at the end of the argument might be considered an example of false causation fallacy.

Explanation:

In case of false causation the causes of the fallacies are incorrectly identified. In this case although one event is related to another event and the events take place at the same time . Although if the events are talking place at the same time but the events are not connected to each other. In case of false fallacy real relationship do not exist between the variables . One of the example of false causation is that whenever I go to the the bed at night for sleep , sun also goes down as well.
