Answer: C) Ethos.

Explanation: When writing, an author can use several rhetorical devices in order to persuade, inform or impact the audience in the desired way. Three of the must used rhetorical devices are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos is an appeal to the audience's ethics, logos is an appeal to the audience's logic and pathos is an appeal to the audience's emotions. In the given sentence from Patrick Henry's speech, we can see an example of ethos, because by mentioning that he has experience, he is appealing to the audience's ethics.

Write a summary of the prologue of "Romeo and Juliet" in plain language.
Helga [31]

Answer:

The prologue tells exactly what is the play is going to be about. It explains that there are two families that are feuding. The two lovers in this story are from opposing households. This raises two questions for the audience. The first is if Romeo and Juliet's deaths could have been avoided if their families had stopped their feud. The second is will their deaths show the families that there has been enough bloodshed and maybe help them find peace. The chorus begs the audience to stay and find out.

1"May cause" being repeated at the beginning of each line is an example of which
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

1. Anaphora

2. Logos

3. Alliteration

4. Parallelism

Explanation:

Rhetorical devices are the literary devices used in writing to have a lasting effect on the reader and engage the reader in the writing. Anaphora is a rhetorical device in which words are repeated in the beginning of the successive clauses. So, if  "May Cause" is repeated in the beginning of each line, it is "Anaphora". Logos is the literary device by which audience is convinced with the help of facts and reasons. So, facts about smoking is logos rhetoric appeal.

Repetition of same letter in the beginning of closely written words in a sentence leads to alliteration. In question 3, we see letter 's' being repeated, making it an example of alliteration.

Parallelism is constructing a sentence with words that are similar in sound, or meter or has similar meaning. Raises and suppresses are forming parallelism in the sentence in question 4.

Witch theme is shown MOST clearly in this excerpt
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Choice A would make sense for the first sentence, but not the rest. Choice B is supported by the part of the passage that says,  "...I am weightless again, flying past the other runners". The choice C isn't supported whatsoever because the passage does not say whether or not Squeaky wins, nor does it talk about working hard to prepare for the race. The choice D is supported by the positive self-talk and the resulting physical response (running faster) that the passage describes. This is why I believe D is the best answer.

D. Success is possible if one truly believes in oneself
