Which sentence in this excerpt from Jesse Jackson's "Common Ground and Common Sense" speech is an example of using ethos to pers

uade the audience?
I just want to take common sense to high places. If we can bail out Europe and Japan, if we can bail out Continental Bank and Chrysler . . . we can bail out the family farmer. I just want to make common sense. It does not make sense to close down 650,000 family farms in this country while importing food from abroad subsidized by the U.S. government. Let's make sense. It does not make sense to be escorting oil tankers up and down the Persian Gulf paying $2.50 for every $1.00 worth of oil we bring out while oil wells are capped in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. I just want to make sense. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of its day. What's the moral challenge of our day? We have public accommodations. We have the right to vote. We have open housing. What's the fundamental challenge of our day? It is to end economic violence. Plant closing without notice, economic violence. Even the greedy do not profit long from greed. Economic violence. Most poor people are not lazy. They're not black. They're not brown. They're mostly white, and female and young. But whether white, black, or brown, the hungry baby's belly turned inside out is the same color. Call it pain. Call it hurt. Call it agony. Most poor people are not on welfare. Some of them are illiterate and can't read the want-ad sections. And when they can, they can't find a job that matches their address. They work hard every day, I know. I live amongst them. I'm one of them.

A) If we can bail out Europe and Japan, if we can bail out Continental Bank and Chrysler . . . we can bail out the family farmer

Answer: E) They work hard every day, I know. I live amongst them. I'm one of them.

Explanation: When writing, an author can use several rhetorical devices in order to persuade, inform or impact the audience in the desired way. Three of the must used rhetorical devices are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos is an appeal to the audience's ethics, logos is an appeal to the audience's logic and pathos is an appeal to the audience's emotions. In the given excerpt from  "Common Ground and Common Sense" we can see an example of the use of ethos in the phrase "They work hard every day, I know. I live amongst them. I'm one of them" because the speaker is emphasizing in the fact that he understand and has lived the situation of which he is speaking, which makes him more believable.

Match each figure of speech with the excerpt in which it is used.
Naily [24]

Answer:

Metaphor

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief,

That thou her maid art far more fair than she:

(William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet)

Verbal irony

To sorrow

I bade good morrow

And thought to leave her far away behind

But cheerly, cheerly,

She loves me dearly;

She is so constant to me, and so kind.

I would deceive her,

And so leave her,

But ah! she is so constant and so kind.

(John Keats, “Endymion”)

Simile

The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,

And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;

And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,

When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.

(Lord Byron, “The Destruction of Sennacherib”)

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech. A simile is used for a direct comparison of two things. The comparison is made by using 'like' and 'as'.

A metaphor is a figure of speech. A metaphor is also a comparison but the comparison is made between two things which are very different for each other but posses one similarity in them.

Verbal irony is a type of irony. When the speaker means something very different from what he exactly is speaking, is said to verbal irony.
