Which sentence shows the correct use of a common homophone?

English
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is "I think you left your biology notebook on the bleachers yesterday"

Explanation:

The words "your" and "you're" are homophones because their pronunciation is the same and they are written similarly. However, they have a different meaning because the word "your" shows possession, while the word "you're" (you are) comprises a subject and the verb to be. In this context, the only sentence that is completely correct and uses these homophones correctly is "I think you left your biology notebook on the bleachers yesterday" because in this the word "your" is used to show possession, which matches its meaning.

The rhetorical device that best fits the example in the question is pathos, since it evokes the audience's sympathy by mentioning dreams and pain.

<h3>What are rhetorical devices?</h3>

Rhetorical devices are techniques used to persuade people to do something. Speeches and ads rely on such appeals to get their audiences to act a certain way or buy a certain product. The three rhetorical devices are:

  • Ethos: An appeal to the speaker's credibility or experience.
  • Logos: An appeal to logic.
  • Pathos: An appeal to emotion.

After reading the text in the question, we can identify the use of pathos in it. The writer wants to evoke sympathy from the audience by mentioning that Anna had dreams just like them. He or she also mentions her accident while emphasizing the pain she felt.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A, pathos, as the correct answer.
