How does the use of rhetorical questions in this excerpt advance the speaker's purpose of persuading the judge to give a lighter

sentence
English

sdas [7]2 years ago

The use of rhetorical questions in the excerpt advance the speaker's purpose of persuading the judge to give a lighter sentence is the rhetorical questions imply that a harsher sentence would only serve to make people crueler.

Speaking, writing and reading are an integral part of everyday life, where language is the primary tool of expression and communication. Studying how people use language—what words and phrases they unconsciously choose and combine—can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave the way we do.

Hence, the correct answer is “the rhetorical questions imply that a harsher sentence would only serve to make people crueler.”

ANTIGONE:
prohojiy [21]
This quote has no mention of a deity (divine authority) or society as a whole (civil obedience), and the only mention of gender is the author's reference to his sibling as "brother." The final line "<span>I won't be caught betraying him." drives the assumption that failing to do his "duty to [his] brother" would violate some sort of bond between he and his brother. Since we only know this relationship as familial, we must assume familial loyalty is the theme.</span>
