The verb dictate means to give an order that must be obeyed. From the excerpt, we can assume that the words duty, honor, and country should be our guidelines. The ideas behind those words must be followed, for they tell us what we ought to be, what we can be, what we will be.
The verb dictate could also mean to speak or read to a person. In this excerpt, however, that meaning does not apply.
<u><em>Hello There!</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
<u><em>Let's first define what a prepositional phrase is. A prepositional phrase is a bunch of words and these words include a preposition and an object of the pronoun.</em></u>

<u><em>In this case, the answer would be "D" because 'under' is a preposition so the prepositional phrase would be 'under bridges'</em></u>
C, since the reader can focus on the more important details of the text, rather then the fluff in the beginning
Ethos, Logos, and Pathos is the correct answer.
I hope this helped!
