"If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which,

having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him?" Which rhetorical element is included in this passage from President Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address? ethos theme logos thesis

Before we can determine which of the choices is the best answer, we need to ensure we understand what each of the words mean.

Ethos is one of the pillars of persuasion and it refers to ethics. This means that the author uses an ethical argument in his or her writing to try and sway the audience.

Theme is a central topic of a literary work. This is something that is apparent throughout the work itself.

Logos is another pillar of persuasion and refers to logic. When using this rhetorical device, the author is trying to appeal to the logical side of people by using logical arguments to sway the audience.

Thesis is usually one sentence in a paper or work that sums up the main idea of that particular work. The thesis guides the rest of the paper or literary work by dictating what will be discussed as it progresses.

With these definitions in mind, neither theme nor thesis are good answers here because they do not apply to the excerpt we have been given. However, both ethos and logos are good contenders for best answer. If we return to the text, we see that President Lincoln refers to God and discusses slavery as an offense to Him. With this in mind, ethos is the best answer for this because by discussing how slavery is offensive will appeal to the moral side of the audience that hears or reads this.

Read the excerpt from Act I, scene v of Romeo and Juliet.
Nitella [24]

<u>Answer</u>:

D: It captures both the original tone and meaning

This is the best analysis of the adaptation

<u>Explanation</u>:

The adaptation “Wow, she is really beautiful “, describes both the original tone and the meaning of the line Romeo says in the scene. He is describing Juliet’s beauty in the given line. He says that she is so beautiful that she teaches the torch how to burn bright. The torches appear dim before the glow of her face.  

So, the correct answer is Option D. Other options mention that either of them is missing in the adaptation, so they are incorrect.

Which statement best compares the two monologues? Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points. Brutus' use of
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.

Explanation:

<em>The following are the reasons why the other three alternatives are incorrect:</em>

  • While both Brutus and Antony have the word ambitious as a key word of their speeches, they also use the word in the same meaning (i.e., greedy for power).
  • None of the two speakers focuses only in Caesar's weaknesses. Actually, both tend to emphasize his strong points more.
  • Both speakers speak directly to the crowd, and both their speeches are in front of a crowd, even in theatrical renditions.

The most dominant part of both of their speeches are rhetorical questions. Brutus uses rhetorical questions to persuade the crowd into believing he killed Caesar for their own good, while Antony uses rhetorical questions to prove Caesar was not ambitious.
