How do argument writers tailor their language to their audience when arguing for a cause?
Luda [366]
If a writer is structuring an argument towards an audience that has an interest in a specific cause, the writer will use specific vocabulary, details, stories, and facts that appeal to that cause. Pathos (the use of emotional appeal in an argument) is a strong benefit to add to an argument, and the writer might take a specific story of someone who has been affected by the cause in order to make the audience emotional. If they become emotionally invested in the argument it is more likely to be effective. Additionally, specific vocabulary (including abbreviations) and relevant facts (logos) will help the audience understand and appreciate the argument. Finally, the author should establish their credibility (ethos) as an expert on the subject so that the audience trusts what they are saying.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

B. Lighthouses can make great museums and landmarks

Explanation:

Museums are sometimes buildings or institutions dedicated for exhibition of some objects to have historical value. Lighthouses from the passage make great museums in the sense that if one visits a coastal city or an inland city that has access to a major waterway, there is high chance of seeing lighthouse.

Landmarks are man-made notable towers with historical purpose. From the passage, Lighthouses can make great landmarks because it’s easy to find functional lighthouse today because of it is in a notable location. Therefore lighthouse from the passage creates museum and historical landmarks in maritime culture.
