Question

Read the excerpt from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.” For me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. To learn to read is to start down the road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. There are those who think they know best what we should read. These censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives. To convince readers that censors have unjust motives, the author uses rhetoric to appeal mostly to
logic
characters
ethos
emotion

Answer 1

the answer is emotions i just took the test, hope this helps

Answer 2

To convince readers that censors have unfair motives, the author uses rhetoric to appeal primarily to emotion.

The author is using the manipulation of the receiver's feelings as a way of convincing him of the validity of his argument. The appeal to emotion can be done in very different ways, causing your recipient a good feeling, such as joy and excitement, or bad, like fear and guilt. In appeal to emotion, the validity of arguments is ignored, taking into account only those that seem pleasing to him, being considered an irrational way of playing something

This can be perceived when the author says that reading is a path to freedom, that nobody should prevent this path, however, this impediment is increasingly frequent in the country.
