Answer:

C. Ethical Appeal.

Explanation:

Ethical Appeal is a type of persuasion that reveals about the credibility of the author. It is also known as ethos. In this type of persuasion, the audience is persuaded based on the speaker's credibility or how much the speaker is credible and worth listening to. The author's credibility is known based on his unbiasedness and fairness.

The given passage is taken from the speech named <u>"The Strenuous Life" delivered by Theodore Roosevelt on 10th April 1899</u>. The speech was delivered to encourage his audience to overcome hardships and strenuous life should be the lifestyle of Americans, that they should not live a life of idleness. He shares the experience of his life, of how he also overcame hardship and became the 26th President of the United States. So, his audience was persuaded based on Roosevelt's credibility. Thus, the correct answer is option C, ethical appeal.

Which kind of phrase are the underlined words in the sentence?  While writing my report, I found the information on this website
LiRa [457]
The correct answer is B. adjective phrase.

While writing my report, I found the information on this website to be very helpful.

In order to find out what kind of phrase 'on this website' is, we have to ask what its function in the sentence is. In this case, it is describing something, saying that it is on this website. Now, we have to determine what it is describing, because adverbs and appositives also describe. In order to find out what it is describing, ask yourself 'What is ____?'.

What is on this website?
Information is on this website.

Therefore, 'on this website' is describing 'information'. Because 'information' is a noun, the phrase 'on this website' must be an adjective phrase, because adjective phrases describe nouns.

An example of an adverb phrase would be:

The dancers moved very gracefully.
The dancers did what very gracefully?
The dancers moved very gracefully.
Therefore, 'very gracefully' is an adverb phrase because 'moved' is a verb. This is also the case when the phrase is describing an adjective or another adverb.

Appositive phrases are difficult because they also describe nouns; however, appositives are separated from the rest of the sentence by a set of commas, and serve to rename the noun they are describing.

Here is an example:

The girl, my cousin, walked over to me.
Who is my cousin?
The girl is my cousin.
Therefore, 'my cousin' is describing 'girl'. Because girl is a noun, it is either an appositive phrase or an adjective phrase. Since 'my cousin' is separated from the rest of the sentence by commas and is renaming the noun, 'girl', it must be an appositive. Therefore, 'my cousin' is an appositive phrase.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The elements that contribute to the sense of the rhythm of the Igbo language are:

a. the lack of contractions

c. the punctuation

Explanation:

The Igbo language has a strong foundation in the phonetics of vowels since the variety of tones are limited to mostly two, having no contractions and using the same kind of repetitive punctuation help to support the sense of the rhythm that the Igbo language uses, all this focuses in sounds more than what the words really mean.
