Question

The peoples of the Soviet Union must rise against the enemy and defend their rights and their land. The red army, red navy and all citizens of the soviet union must defend every inch of Soviet soil, must fight to the las drop of blood for our towns and villages, must display the darling initiative and intelligence that are inherent in our people.
Based on this excerpt, which statement is the most accurate assessment of Stalin's use of rhetoric?

A. He uses logos to appeal to Russian's belief they can defend themselves.

B. He uses logos to appeal to Russian's confidence in their cultural past.

C. He uses pathos to appeal to Russian's sense of betrayal and anger.

D. He uses pathos to appeal to Russian's sense of pride and survival.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be A)
We know it isn't C or D because pathos means to invoke pity or sadness, which is not what he is doing.
And in B it says he uses their cultural past, which isn't used which leaves A) as the correct answer.

Answer 2

D. He uses pathos to appeal to Russian's sense of pride and survival. (Apex)
