Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the definitions of the words to match. These are the following:

a witty saying expressing a single thought or observation

printed material, newspaper

merry; festive

an inhabitant

possibility

Answer:

A) Contingency: possibility

B) Rotogravure: printed material, newspaper

C) Denizen: an inhabitant

D) Convivial: merry; festive

E) Epigram: a witty saying expressing a single thought or observation

Explanation:

The noun contingency refers to a future event which cannot be predicted with certainty. Rotogravure has to do with a printing system typically used to print magazines and stamps. A denizen is a resident of a particular place. The adjective convivial means that an atmosphere or event is friendly, cheerful and amusing. Finally, epigram is a brief ingenious comment that conveys an expression in an amusing and clever manner.

Natalka [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The author's purpose or reason for writing this editorial was to inform and make people conscious about the terrible oil spill in April 2010in the Gulf of México, with the explosion of a British Petroleum rig. This spill caused so much damage to the ecosystem and the environment of the Gulf of México.

The two details from the text that support the answer are the following. The author, Kate Jackson, writes that the BP company knew about the possibility of an accident of this magnitude but it didn't do anything to prevent it. She said that David Rainey, an executive form British Petroleum, had assured the members of the Senate that the facility had no risk of a spill.

The other detail that supports the answer is that she wrote that the oil industry always had been aware of the dangers of spills but never has done so much to prevent them. Also, people like Robert Bea, an offshore engineer, had warned British Petroleum.

I believe the answer would be B, Ethos. Diction is the choice and use of words and phrases in speech or writing. Ethos is the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations. A metaphor is a thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else, specifically something abstract. And the style of logos appears to just represent information on a certain subject. Ethos is the speaker or another person, and usually, involves why that speaker is rightfully qualified for a specific rank or job. For example "As a doctor, I am qualified to tell you that this course of treatment will likely generate the best results." (sentence cited from examples.yourdictionary.com)<span>
