Question

6. Which of the following does NOT identify a rhetorical

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement that is does not identify a rhetorical  device used in the speech is: Option A: Henry relies on exaggeration, especially of diction and  tone, to make his points about the British and the state   of affairs the colonies face.

Explanation:

The main motive of Patrick Henry's speech at Virginia Conference was to persuade people to fight against Britishers for their freedom. He uses pathos in most part of his speech and reminds people of the hardships they have faced. He also uses emotions to appeal to them that remaining silent at such time would be like betraying God and their own country.

Repetition is a very useful rhetorical device used in Henry's speech as it emphasizes on the point he wants to put across and people understand him better. Thus, statement A doesn't identify rhetoric device as Henry doesn't use exaggeration.
