metaphor

An oxymoron is a phrase of opposites - there are no opposites in the lines. Flashback is an interruption in narration to tell something that had happened in the past. It's often used for clarification or character development. This is not a flashback. Personification is giving nonhuman things humanlike traits. The lines are actually talking about humans, not animals. This is why metaphor is correct. The priest doesn't actually have a flock of sheep. The flock that is mentioned are his parishioners (people who attend religious services). He says that they were either in bed or had died.

What type of evidence does Roosevelt use to support the
stiks02 [169]

Read the excerpt from Eleanor Roosevelt's speech

"The Struggle for Human Rights

Abel

As I see it, it is not going to be easy to attain

unanimity with respect to our different concepts of

government and human rights. The struggle is bound

to be difficult and one in which we must be firm but

patient. If we adhere faithfully to our principles I think it

is possible for us to maintain freedom and to do so

peacefully and without recourse to force.

The future must see the broadening of human rights

throughout the world People who have glimpsed

freedom will never be content until they have secured

it for themselves. In a truest sense, human rights are

a fundamental object of law and government in a just

society Human rights exist to the degree that they are

respected by people in relations with each other and

by governments in relations with their citizens.

What type of evidence does Roosevelt use to support the claim that the United Nations must attain unanimity on the human rights issue?

O Roosevelt uses anecdotal evidence by discussing

how other countries have approached human rights

struggles in the past.

Roosevelt uses logical evidence by explaining that,

once people have seen these freedoms, they will

want them for themselves.

Roosevelt usefmanecdotal evidence by sharing

that because human rights make government

work, they must be part of the law.

Roosevelt uses logical evidence by referring to

data about peaceful struggles for human rights

around the world.

Answer:

B. Roosevelt uses logical evidence by explaining that, once people have seen these freedoms, they will want them for themselves

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from Eleanor Roosevelt's speech "The Struggle for Human Rights", the speaker talks about human rights and how it can be achieved without the use of force, but cooperation between member nations.

Therefore, the type of evidence that Roosevelt uses to support the claim that the United Nations must attain unanimity on the human rights issue is logical evidence by explaining that, once people have seen these freedoms, they will want them for themselves
