?’”

<span>Here is why Thoreau’s use of rhetorical questions contributes to the persuasiveness and message in “Civil Disobedience”:  A rhetorical question is a question that is asked, but for which an answer is not needed because the answer should be obvious enough to readers/audience members will know what is considered by the author/speaker as the appropriate response.  Rhetorical questions will be used in the place of statements and are used to engage readers and audience members.  When questions are asked, people tend to think a bit deeper into the topic than they would have if just given information in the form of a statement.  Thus, when posed a rhetorical question—a question that has an obvious answer favored by the author—one is more apt to consider and/or accept what is being presented to him or her.  As such, rhetorical questions are persuasive by nature.  </span>

What information does the reader learn from amazing plants that is missing in trapped by a predator?
lana [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

This question is incomplete because it does not attach the excerpts. You forgot to attach the text titled "Amazing Plants" and the text title "Trapped by a Predator."

Without the texts, we cannot read what is the content.

However, trying to help you we did some deep research and can comment on the following.

The information that the reader learns from "Amazing Plants" that is missing in "Trapped by a Predator" is a description of the pitcher plant.

In the excerpt "Amazing Plants,<em>"the author refers to the pitcher plan as follows: Pitcher plants are another quiet carnivore. The plants are long, pitcher-like tube shapes, with wide bottoms full of water to catch and digest their prey. Pitcher plants use different strategies to attract prey. Some give off sweet smells, while others produce nectar. Pitchers have been known to consume anything from insects to small lizards and rodents."</em>

In the excerpt "Trapped by a Predator," the author focuses more on his personal experience of how he became interested in Botanics and plants when as a child he was on a trip to Willington. North Carolina.
