Read this excerpt from the speech "Cause of the Great War" delivered by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George at the start o

f World War I. Which line is an example of the use of ethos as a persuasive device?
Before she entered the war Britain made every effort to avoid it; begged, supplicated, and entreated that there should be no conflict.

I was a member of the Cabinet at the time, and I remember the earnest endeavours we made to persuade Germany and Austria not to precipitate Europe into this welter of blood. We begged them to summon a European conference to consider.

Had that conference met arguments against provoking such a catastrophe were so overwhelming that there would never have been a war. Germany knew that, so she rejected the conference, although Austria was prepared to accept it. She suddenly declared war, and yet we are the people who wantonly provoked this war, in order to attack Germany.

We begged Germany not to attack Belgium, and produced a treaty, signed by the King of Prussia, as well as the King of England, pledging himself to protect Belgium against an invader, and we said, "If you invade Belgium we shall have no alternative but to defend it."

The enemy invaded Belgium, and now they say, "Why, forsooth, you, England, provoked this war."

It is not quite the story of the wolf and the lamb. I will tell you why - because Germany expected to find a lamb and found a lion.

Answer:

B. Research shows that some junk food ads target kids.

Explanation:

Option B is the sentence that contains evidence for the main idea of the passage.

From the passage, we are given evidences of the research that actually shows that some junk food ads target kids. The Public Library of Science showed that ads aimed at kids actually focused on toys that come with junk food than on the food itself. The use of TV shows and movies connected to children is another way that fast--food restaurant are targeting kids with their ads.

Read this excerpt from a personal narrative. “That will be $7.50,” the cashier said after ringing up the groceries I hoped to pu
liq [111]

Answer:

Either the narrator is having a bad day, or is just clumsy. Just by this short part of the story, we can infer that he/she is a kind person. They use the word, "sorry," and were embarrassed yet polite when they realized that they didn't have enough money. When the generous person behind them gives them money, the narrator is thankful. However, the "generous" person isn't so generous. They just want to leave.

hope this helps
