Read the excerpt from "I Believe in a British Empire” by Joseph Chamberlain.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

the same purpose

an appeal to emotion

an appeal to reason

Explanation:

Both of the passages focus on the same purpose. It tries to convince the readers by<em> appealing to emotion</em> and<em> appealing to reason. </em>

Passage 1 appeals to emotion by using words and phrases such as <em>"dread"</em> and <em>"methods of barbarism." </em>These allow the readers to feel what the writer is claiming. Passage 2 appeals to emotion by using the words <em>"awake to life and freedom"</em> and<em> "long suppressed.</em>" It tries to convince the readers that India needed the freedom because it has been suppressed for a long time.

Besides appealing to emotion, both passages also<u> appeal to reason.</u> Passage 1 mentioned about the<em> "late war"</em> which happened in history. This is considered an evidence to his argument. Passage 2 mentioned about the<em> "dawn of history of India"</em> which backs his argument.

So, this explains the answers.
