Gulliver using his glasses as a shield in a military operation while the Blefuscudians shot arrows at Gulliver's face and neck in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. This situation described as an ironic situation because Gulliver did not defend his face and neck from the arrow. He rather defends his eyes using the glasses.

Irony refers to a literary device in which what appears to be the case on the surface is radically different from what is actually the case. In this example, Swift's glasses are made of glass, which in theory is not a resistant material and would most likely make a very bad shield. However, the irony is that the glasses actually protect Swift's eyes effectively, despite their fragile nature.

Which best describes the type of appeal used in this part of the speech? a logical appeal an ethical appeal an emotional appeal
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

This is the excerpt the question refers to:

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The appeal of that excerpt is: logical appeal

Explanation:

In the excerpt, a logical fact is being pointed at: Japan is very far from Hawaii, and because the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not only unexpected, but also successful (for the Japanese), it must have been planned many days or weeks ago.

An deadly attack on foreign soil, that is far away from home, cannot be rushed out. It needs planning, and that is obviously what the Japanese did.
