Answer;

Emotional diction

Explanation;

Jefferson who is the author of the Declaration of independence utilizes a powerful, emotional diction to implement the colonists’ sentiments toward the King’s character into his writing.

He uses certain words such as tyrants, invasions, murders, abdicated, death, desolation, cruelty, barbarous, and destruction. These words make the audience establish a sympathetic feeling towards the colonists and that the King is “totally unworthy [to be] the Head of a civilized nation” and “unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” Jefferson emphatically proves the injustice and brutality of the King and Parliament.

Answer:

Diction.

Explanation:

Diction is demonstrated as one of the most impactful rhetorical devices that involve the 'choice of words' and 'style of expression' that assists in creating the intended tone and mood in the work that would promote elicitation of desired feelings and impact on the audience.

As per the question, <u>'</u>diction' is the rhetorical device that has been employed by the authors of 'Declaration of Independence' when the words like 'cruelty and barbarous' were chosen to be included in the document as these words provide the vivid description of the sufferings faced by Americans through which the audience could have a sensory experience and establish an emotional connection to it. Thus, <u>they would be able to elicit the desired response as intended by the authors of the Declaration.</u> Therefore, <u>'diction'</u> is the correct answer.
