In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>c. were published to be read by common people. The invention of the printing press a century earlier was the driving force of literacy, which was becoming more widespread than ever. Books were cheaper and affordable to members of the growing middle class. Also, the middle-class people started dictating the literary taste, so there was no need for employing sublime styles and topics that would appeal to the educated aristocracy. In the 16th century, Giorgio Vasari wrote his "Lives of the Artists" - an easily read and extremely interesting account on lives of secular people - the major artists of the age. This book quickly became a bestseller, which means it was read by common people.</span>

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. (please select one of the options in parentheses, each possible answer has "
LuckyWell [14K]

The correct answer from each drop-down menu are the following ones:

The article "The Melting Arctic" attempst to win over public opinion by making use of persuasive techniques. One such technique is the use of <u>scientific data ,</u> which relies on proofs, graphs, and charts. The article also relies on <u>expert opinion,</u> which involves the endorsement of an idea or opinion by a renowned professional in that particular field.

In contrast, the NOAA video uses visuals of animals to appeal to the viewer's <u>emotions.</u> It makes <u>passionate</u> claims about the worsening Arctic conditions and the adverse effects they have on animal life.

The linking word "in contrast" indicates that what is about to be introduced should be the opposite to whas has been said. Consequently, as the first paragraph talks about scientific data, the second one should appeal to the opposite of that, that is, emotions and beliefs. "Passionate" is the only adjective in the examples that has a positive connotation that can be put together with the first option ("emotions").
