appeal to logic
appeal to emotion
metaphor
imagery

Answer 1

appeal to emotion. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

The correct answer is an appeal to logic.

In his speech, Mandela proves logically why all people deserve respect and equality. He does not appeal to emotion but rather to logic. Nor is he using figurative language: he is stating the facts, plain and simple. He uses evidence and reasoning to prove his point.
