Answer: B. They wait day after day after day to hear that some unfortunate person has lost their life, but generously agreed to save theirs. (paragraph 1)
Explanation:
Persuasive language is the use of certain words to appeal to the emotions of people such that certain types of feelings are elicited from them. These feels can be pride, sadness, happiness and even anger.
In this case the targeted emotion is sympathy and sadness. By including that the people on the organ transplant waiting list wait for people to not only die but to agree to save their lives is meant to make the reader feel sad about the predicament of people on the organ transplant list.
Example:
There I was, sitting on the bench. I wasn't sure how I was going to make it. How does one continue on after finding that the pizza man delivered you a pizza that was upside down in the box?
I looked at it, hiding the tears that were forming in my eyes gradually. I felt scared and sad, but mostly angry... What kind of a man does this to another? I slowly opened the box up again, for I closed it to hide the painful image of the toppings smudged at what was meant to be the bottom.
I couldn't bring myself to do it! I don't think I can look at another pizza the same way again.
That is why, I will never taste the delicacy of dough topped with greasy, cheesy goodness and tomato sauce again...
Antony just wants the support of Brutus' followers so he can have complete control over Rome.
