Answer: The right answer is the C) The first excerpt makes a logical appeal, while the second excerpt makes an emotional appeal.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in the first excerpt the author is using a very forceful piece of evidence - a passage from the Declaration of Independence - to support his claim and convince his audience to do the same. However, in the second excerpt he is trying to get an emotional reaction from his readers by addressing them very passionately, boldly and persuasively. He is willing to reject the Declaration of Independence and to burn it, and he goes as far as to refer to slave owners as beasts or animals - those "other men" that "choose to go upon all fours." Furthermore, he is also willing to accuse "this nation" (and those are many people) of falsifying God's principles if they denounce him for following His example, and that must have been a very grave accusation at that time when he penned this terrific speech (1854).
Answer:
The author wants to present factual information effectively is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The question refers to the following excerpt:
<em>"The purpose of fasting on Wednesdays is specifically to encourage the eating of fish, to support the fishing industry. People therefore respond differently. Some households uphold the old religious fasts during Advent and Lent, as if they are still observing the religious law; others ignore Advent but observe the Lenten fast. Still others ignore Wednesdays and just fast on Fridays and Saturdays." </em> The Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan England, a book by Ian Mortimer where the author explores a different perspective of Elizabethan England.
When an author uses the third-person point of view is because he wants to sound more objective because this way he puts some distance between the speaker and the speech. Since the author wants to show a different way of seeing the Elizabethan era (1558-1603), this narrator helps him present factual information effectively.
