Before answering the question, I would like to present the different modes of persuasion, also referred to as ethical strategies or rhetorical appeals. They are maneuvers in rhetoric that classify the speaker's appeal to the audience. The Rhetorical Appeals are:
Ethos: It is how well the presenter convinces the audience that the presenter is qualified to speak on the subject, and by doing that what the presenter says is valid.
Pathos: is an appeal to the audience’s emotions
Logos: it. It is normally used to describe facts and figures that support the speaker's claims or thesis.
Kairos: An orator uses this to their advantage to persuade the audience to act now at the time being.
Even though you did not include the excerpt, I know for sure you mean this one:
<em>"She had told them about the place where they would stay, promising warmth and good food, holding these things out to them as an incentive to keep going."</em>
In this particular case the rhetoric appeal used is:
an appeal to the audience’s wants and needs which is a Pathos Rhetorical appeal.
Even though option D is also related to Modernism and could be related to the excerpt, option C seems to be the correct one: It conveys the idea of isolation from modern life.
Modernist were called "the lost generation" because of their search for meaning among the fragments of modern life. In the excerpt, the words "lonely men" seem to address the theme of isolation and alienation in society. While everyone seems to have a role to perform in modern life, that does not mean they have found their true identity. Some sort of value seems to have been lost and, with it, men lost themselves. Modernism is characterized by the search of such value.
"<span>c) Sally lives with her parents, although she could afford her own apartment" contains two sentences, separated by the connecting word "although" which sets off the second sentence. </span>
The best way to study for a music concepts test is to study the music you have a test on (i.e. research all information and look it through).
Hope this helped and good luck on your test!!!! :DDD
Answer and Explanation:
Jim and Della are characters in the short story "The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry. In the story, Della sells her long hair to buy Jim a golden chain for his precious watch. She does not know Jim has sold his watch to buy beautiful combs to adorn her long hair.
<u>The gifts do not affect Della and Jim's relationship negatively. Quite the contrary, they only serve as proof of their great love for each other. Each one sold their most precious possession to be able to give the other something that represents their feelings. Even though the gifts are now useless, they still mean a lot, and the couple's love is not diminished at all. Their reactions when they receive the gifts are evidence of that:</u>
<em>But she held them to her heart, and at last was able to look up and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim!"</em>
<em>. . .</em>
<em>Jim sat down and smiled.</em>
<em>"Della," he said, "let's put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They're too nice to use now. I sold the watch to get the money to buy the combs. And now I think we should have our dinner."</em>
