The correct answer is B. Wiesel uses rhetorical questions to encourage the audience to continue to think about his ideas

Explanation:

The excerpt presented belongs to a speech known as "the Perils of Indifference" by Elie Wiesel who was a survivor of the Holocaust and an important author in the topic. In the excerpt presented, Wiesel refers to the indifference and the importance of learning from the past.

To explain this, the main technique Wiesel uses is rhetorical questions that are questions not intended to be answered by the audience but that encourages the audience to reflect and think about the ideas. For example, the rhetorical question "Have we really learned from our experiences? " makes the audience think about whether atrocities such as the Holocaust can occur again or the question "Has the human being become less indifferent and more human?" that questions the indifference in human societies.

Why do you feel myths were so popular when created thousands of years ago? Why do you think that popularity still exists today?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

They explained the unknown.

Explanation:

Myths were so popular thousands of years ago because people needed answers to the unknowns of the universe, and science could not yet give them those answers.

Today, myths are still popular because they are a type of fiction in which we can let our imaginations run wild. In much the same way as our ancestors, we enjoy fiction because of the vast amount of mysteries that still exist in the universe. Now, however, fiction is not meant to explain these unknowns, but rather to entertain because anything is possible in a multiverse.

Look at the rhetorical questions asked by patrick Henry. List at least on below. What is the effect of these questions?
galben [10]

In this paragraph, Henry responds to the opposing argument, giving reasons to refute it. Many other members of the convention want to remain humble and respectful towards Britain and negotiate a treaty. Patrick Henry discredits this approach by saying that all these strategies had been attempted in the past.
