Question

Which of the following is the strongest example of charged language from Henry's speech?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!

Explanation:

A charged language is a word that is used to spark off or create an emotional response. Charged words were greatly used by Patrick Henry in the Virginia Convention at the time when America wanted to pull away from British rule. He referred to their condition as those of people who were in chains.

"Chain" is a charged word that connoted a condition of slavery. This would make the people know that they were being subdued and needed to take action to be freed from bondage.
