Answer:

From the given sentence and question, no verb is highlighted, but from the sentence, "If the speaker had been on time, the program would have begun on time", you can see that there is tautology as the word "on time" is used twice in the sentence when it could have been used only once.

Therefore, to correct this tautology, the sentence can be rewritten as: "If the speaker had been on time, the program would have begun early".

As a result of this, there is no incorrect verb form in the sentence, so it is safe to assume that the highlighted verb is correct.

Answer:

D). Bandwagon Appeal

Explanation:

'Bandwagon appeal' is characterized as the logical fallacy in which the speaker attempts to persuade the common opinion or belief among the people without checking its credibility/validity. In the given sentence, 'bandwagon fallacy' is displayed because the conclusion is based on the popular belief that 'mail delivery is terrible these days' without actually cross-checking its truthfulness from the bank's end if the check was received by the bank or not. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

While presenting a persuasive speech, you should establish a(n) _____ and satisfy it. a. Target c. Need b. Goal d. Audience

Butoxors [25]

I think the blank is an audience, because if your writing a PERSUASIVE essay, your trying to persuade a specific audience to agree with you on an opinion or trying to complete a certain action, so D makes the most sense, in my mind at least

Answer:

Dear Scout Finch,

I saw how you have been taking the items that I have left in the tree. I also saw how the tree was filled in. I wanted to apologize for that. Assuming you don't know who I am yet, my name is "Boo" Radley. I know that everyone is afraid of me, but I assure you, there is no reason why they should be. I may not be the smartest man in town, but I'm not mean. Let me tell you about myself. My real name is Arthur Radley. I am very nice, at least I try to be anyway. An incident happened when I was younger, and ever since then, I have been in my house. I know that children play games about me. Adults make up rumors about me, and everyone believes those rumors. Everyone is scared of me, and you all call me "Boo." I am honestly upset about this because I am all alone. I don't even get how anyone could think so low of a man. So that's it about me I guess. I wish I could go outside. But anyway, I have a request. Please tell the town about me. Let them know im not a monster. I want to enjoy the rest of my life. I want to go outside, feel the sunshine, make friends, laugh. If I tried to go and do all of those now, people would run away and hide from me. I fear I would be sent to jail or a nut house. I understand if you don't believe me, or fear to help me

I just hope that you do help me, because i want to be like everyone else.

from, Arthur "Boo" Radley

Explanation:
