Answer:

A hand held up at chest height, then slowly lowered to waist height

Explanation:

For answering this question, it is best to try to do the described gestures by yourself in order to visualize them and compare with the given situation. The situation is that choir and orchestra are finishing the song and the volume is decreasing (going down) to the lowest tones. So when we compare all the given gestures with this, we notice that only the third one includes lowering of the hand which represents the lowering of the volume. Gestures often follow the very essence of the action. Some of them are a product of social agreements like clapping at the end of the performance ( Two hands brought together with a clap in front of the chest).

Analyze Baldwin's use of metaphor in this excerpt. How does this rhetorical device
lesya692 [45]

Explanation:

Baldwin talks of a "disease" which afflicts black Americans and can wreck race relations and creating a "rage in the blood" so he is using the "disease" as a metaphor for probably the rage that black Americans have for experiencing the inequalities of life in the US especially in the 1960's when the civil rights movement was so strong and segregation was so strongly practiced in the South still.

Why are logical and emotional appeals effective in persuading people to change their minds?
algol [13]
Appealing to logic is super effective. It allows the audience to grasp more of a logical or rational point of view. It's also a point of view best used with a male-dominant audience.

Appealing to emotions is also something else that is an effective way to change an audience's mind. It allows the audience to grasp more of a compassionate and sensitive point of view. It's also a point of view best used with a female-dominant audience.

Read this excerpt from Amy Tan's short story "Fish Cheeks":
Lelu [443]
Amy Tan describes several conflicts that she experiences during this dinner. She desires Robert and his caucasian features, and wishes she could be white and have a slim American nose like his. She is unsatisfied, in that moment, with everything that makes her Chinese, including her own features and especially the traditionally Chinese food that her mom is cooking. In the American context, this food seems foreign and strange.

Her mom, a wise woman who knows her well, recognizes this. She softens her reproach with a western gift, the miniskirt, but tells her that she should not feel shame in her heritage, and that she should be proud and confident as a Chinese person. The interesting idea at the end of the passage is that, although she felt embarrassed in the moment by the food her mom was preparing, they all happened to be her favorite foods. This captures the cultural conflict that the narrator internally feels; she is Chinese, and loves many aspects of her culture, but feels ashamed of them when she experiences in the American context.
