Question

Which statement accurately compares the diction in Andrew Jackson’s on Indian removal

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Jackson relies on long, flowing sentences, whereas Rutledge relies on short, direct sentences.

Explanation

The difference between Andrew Jackson’s address to the Congress and Michael Rutledge’s “Samuel’s Memory” is clearly writing techniques and the use of language. Jackson’s sentences are long and very often not really to the point, which makes him sound very intelligent and believable. On the other hand, Rutledge uses short and simple sentences that are straight to the point.
