Read the excerpt from President Ronald Reagan's speech on the night before the 1980 presidential election. And many Americans to
day, just as they did 200 years ago, feel burdened, stifled and sometimes even oppressed by government that has grown too large, too bureaucratic, too wasteful, too unresponsive, too uncaring about people and their problems. Which statement best describes the rhetorical technique used in this excerpt? He appeals to logos by referring to two hundred years ago. He uses parallelism with the repetition of the word too. He appeals to ethos by showing he cares about Americans. He employs understatement by saying that "many" feel burdened.

Answer: Romeo wanted to see her again; just one more time. He wanted to tell her that he loved her and wanted to be with her forever. He can see her - or at least he knows where she is and the light from the window is drawing him closer to her. He tells her that she is beautiful and so much more beautiful than God's creations. She looks at him through the window and their eyes meet. Nothing on Earth could compare to the love that he has for Juliet. He just wants to be with her forever.
