Answer:
The type of appeal presented in the passage is logos.
Explanation:
Logos is a type of rhetorical appeal that uses logic in order to convince the audience of something. Thus, the speaker or writer walks the audience through his ideas and evidence to the logical conclusion derived from them.
In this case, the writer affirms people must conserve water during a drought. Then, he moves on to say what people can do to save water, finishing with a convincing number: 1,000 gallons a year. What he did is show evidence of how effective the instructions he gave are. Logically, if they are effective, there is no reason to not follow them. Quite the contrary, since the evidence shows effectiveness, the audience will most likely start doing those actions.
As we read the conversation between Mr. Hooper and Elizabeth, we can see that Hooper is determined to continue to wear the black veil, no matter what it may cause.
We can arrive at this answer as follows:
- Elizabeth and Hooper are engaged.
- Their conversation started because Elizabeth demands to know why Hooper is wearing a black veil all the time.
- The black veil makes Hooper look somber and Elizabeth believes that, as his fiancée, she has a right to know why he is acting this way.
- However, Hooper is unwilling to either tell her why he is wearing the veil or stop wearing it.
- He believes Elizabeth should trust him as his bride.
The conversation between them shakes the engagement between the two, but Hooper shows that he will continue wearing the veil even if it saddens his fiancée and even if the engagement needs to be ended.
This question is related to "The Minister's Black Veil" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this story, we meet a Puritan town that is terrified of the town's minister's decision to wear a mysterious black veil.
