Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Juxtaposition is a rhetorical device in which a speaker puts two ideas side by side to compare and contrast them.

Juxtaposition can be used to help support truth appeal. Example;

A banker is very rude to a couple trying to open a joint bank account but is very nice to a lady opening a personal account.

The juxtaposition here is the bankers behavior towards his customers. His rudeness to a couple trying to open a joint account accompanied by his niceness to the single lady shows that he is jealous of the couple as he is single or unhappy in his relationship.

The juxtaposition highlights the difference and comparisons between the two terms. The banker's character is better understood because it was juxtaposed. If the banker's niceness was not stated, he would have been described as a very rude and bitter person.

The juxtaposition here was used to support the truth about the banker.
