This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Part 4 of The Odyssey.

As long as bread and good red wine remained  to keep the men up, and appease their craving,  they would not touch the cattle. But in the end,  when all the barley in the ship was gone,  so hunger drove them to scour the wild shore  with angling hooks, for fishes and seafowl,  whatever fell into their hands; and lean days  wore their bellies thin.

Answer:

The theme that is best revealed by this conflict is:

A. It is easy to uphold morals when one is not suffering.

Explanation:

In this part of the epic poem The Odyssey, by Homer, the hero Odysseus and his men have landed on an island. Even though there is cattle in the island, <u>Odysseus has been warned to not allow his men to kill and eat it, since this cattle is sacred. However, the men are only capable of upholding their morals and respecting the order to not kill the cattle while they are not suffering. As long as they have food and wine, the cattle is safe. But, once they have consumed their provisions, they forget about their morals and the warning, kill the cattle, and end up dead as a punishment from the gods.</u>

This technique tries to persuade you by repeating certain words or ideas that they get stuck in your head and you think of them
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Repetition.

Explanation:

A persuasive essay can be defined as a type of essay in which the aim or goals of the writer is to convince the readers (audience) to accept their own point of view, perspective, ideas or opinions. Thus, the main purpose of a persuasive essay is to inform an action in the minds of the potential readers by accepting all or part of the ideas, views, or perception being expressed by the writer.

Basically, the three (3) goals or elements of a persuasive essay are;

I. Convince: this is to make the readers or audience believe the views being expressed through the use of evidence, superior arguments or logic.

II. Stimulation: this is simply to create excitement and enthusiasm in the minds of potential readers while believing the writer.

III. Actuate: this is simply to cause the readers (audience) to take an action. It motivates, incite or compels the readers to do something.

Generally, all persuasive essay must begin with a debatable or arguable thesis (claim).

There are different types of persuasive techniques used in English literature and these includes; peer pressure, bandwagon, appeal to logic, card stacking, ethos, emotional appeal, celebrity endorsements, loaded words, and repetition.

Repetition is a technique which tries to persuade you by repeating certain words or ideas that they get stuck in your head and you think of them often.

This ultimately implies that, the writer or author continually repeats specific words or ideas until they're stuck in the head of the listeners or audience.
