Answer:

D. Poverty isolates African Americans from the mainstream of American society.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes the meaning of the excerpt. In these lines, the author presents an image of isolation when it comes to African Americans. We learn that African Americans are on an "island" which is surrounded by material property. The implication is that African Americans as a group are poorer than other groups in society, and that this isolates them in the same way as if they were located on an island.

Write a paragraph explaining which appeals Herbert uses the most effectively- ethos, pathos, logos, or a combination of any of t
kiruha [24]

"Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker [ethos]; the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind [pathos]; the third on the proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech itself [logos]. Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible."

Ethos (sometimes called an appeal to ethics), then, is used as a means of convincing an audience via the authority or credibility of the persuader, be it a notable or experienced figure in the field or even a popular celebrity.

Pathos (appeal to emotion) is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response to an impassioned plea or a convincing story.

Logos (appeal to logic) is a way of persuading an audience with reason, using facts and figures.
