Answer:

B). Rhetorical question.

Explanation:

Rhetorical questions exemplify one of the commonly employed techniques that helps influence the audience and evoke the critical thinking abilities of them. Such questions are not asked with an intent to be answered but rather to persuade or influence the audience to believe in a particular idea or claim.

As per the question, this excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's 'Resistance to Civil Government' employs 'rhetorical question'('shall we be content to obey them', 'shall we endeavor to amend them') to appeal and influence the audience to think and then display their 'resistance' against the civil government for the betterment of United States. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

When Twain explains Captain Brown and shows the rationale for his criticism of this captain's statement, it is clear to discern the use of imagery. Both examples demonstrate how expectations and reality may be vastly different. We can get to this conclusion because: Imagery is a figure of speech that permits the reader's senses to be stimulated by extremely vivid descriptions.

When Twain depicts Captain Brown, we may see an illustration of this.

Twain employs very descriptive adjectives and provides specifics in this description that help the reader to imagine the captain and his conduct.

Twain also employs imagery to convey the reasons for his criticism of the captain. This allows the reader to gain a better grasp of the character as well as the setting in which he is placed. Twain was led to feel that life at sea was fantastic because of people like Brown, but life at sea was extremely difficult, and this was not exposed to the public, demonstrating that visions of glamorous things can often turn into unpleasant realities.
