Answer:

- Emotion-arousing words to trigger audience response.

Explanation:

The authors often employ various persuasive techniques(ethos, logos, or pathos) to convince the audience to believe and accept the claim or idea proposed by the author.

In the given excerpt, the textbook tip for persuasion that Gore employed effectively would be 'emotion or ethos' which involves 'employing arousing or triggering words' that targets the emotions of the audience and elicit desired emotional response from them.

Why do you think the ideal communication style is assertive communication?
anyanavicka [17]

There are four main styles of communication. I include a short description in each of them:

  • passive: let others take the decisions for you: not express feelings or needs, ignoring your personal rights. Ex: "<em>I’m okay with whatever you want to do".</em>
  • aggressive: defensive or hostile behaviour, ignoring others, personal benefits. Ex: "<em>this is what we’re doing." ( no option to change it)</em>
  • passive-aggressive: being subtle, appearing passive but influencing others with sarcasm and irony, avoiding conversation. Ex:  <em>attittudes such as spreading rumours, sabotaging other people's efforts.</em>
  • assertive: direct, honest communication, respecting the feeling, ideas of others. Ex: <em>"I need for you to do.... because I feel..."</em>

In general, it is said that ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION is the best in order to hold a respectful and long-term relationship, but it depends on the situations we encounter, the type of communication we use.
