I believe it is persuasive. You're trying to get people to help preserve the mountains, da? That essay is trying to persuade them
The best answer would be Letter B - to entertain.
The author merely would like to provide amusement to the readers at his expense. It certainly does not persuade, explain, nor inform anything since it states - <span>But why bother with the descriptions; you’ve probably already grasped the idea!</span> - which could be taken as a witticism.
Based on the given sentence above, the appositive phrase here is the "triplet sisters". When we say appositive, this is a word or phrase that renames the subject that follows it. In this case, this appositive renames <span>"Laura, Lisa, and Lynn". Hope this answers your question.</span>
I believe it is the second one.
1. I would say the correct answer is C. <span>It led him to believe that violent resistance to white people is both necessary and justified. The problem was not just the taking away of Native American lands; the problem was that the white men cheated. Black Hawk was a famous war leader in more than one conflict, aligning even with the white men from Britain and Canada against their common enemy.
2. In my opinion, the correct answer is D. </span><span>He uses ethos, suggesting his behavior was an ethical and just reaction against the deceitful and immoral behavior of the white men. He isn't trying to manipulate his audience's opinion. He appeals to ethos, relying on their capability to recognize the right and justified cause. When the land where they lived was devastated, of course they were right to do something about it.</span>
