Small passage: “I have long believed some of these practices amounted to torture, as a reasonable person would define it, especi

ally, but not only the practice of waterboarding, which is a mock execution and an exquisite form of torture. Its use was shameful and unnecessary; and, contrary to assertions made by some of its defenders and as the Committee’s report makes clear, it produced little useful intelligence to help us track down the perpetrators of 9/11 or prevent new attacks and atrocities.”
(1) Which of the following phrases in McCain's speech is an analogy?

(a) some of these practices amounted to torture
(b) the practice of waterboarding, which is a mock execution
(c) Its use was shameful and unnecessary
(d) the Committee’s report makes clear, it produced little useful intelligence|


(2) The passage above contains several examples of argumentative techniques. Select the statement below that best identifies a technique and explains how that technique supports an argument.


(a) McCain uses a logical appeal when he starts the speech with his personal belief.
(b) McCain uses bandwagoning when he says that his belief that waterboarding is torture is the belief of any reasonable person.
(c) McCain uses irony because he calls waterboarding shameful and unnecessary.
(d) McCain uses personal credibility because he says that this practice produces little useful information.



(3) Select the sentence that 1) identifies an argumentative technique that McCaine uses, and has the most correct explanation of McCain’s use of one of the argumentative technique.

(a) Word Choice/Diction: McCain’s use of purposeful and negative diction like “mock execution” and “atrocities” criticizes the use of waterboarding.
(b) Hyperbole: McCain calls waterboarding “exquisite torture” to soften how cruel it seems.
(c) Bandwagoning: When McCain references the Committee’s report to make his statement seem more credible.
(d) Pathos: McCain uses personal credibility because his position as a senator means he has a great deal of knowledge on this subject of torture.

According to information from the essay which statement best describes how the idea of the monster is created
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Assuming that the essay is the epic poem from around 1000 CE focusing on Beowulf in a third person narrative:

<span>“A man would roar, "I'll steal their gold and burn their meadhall!" shaking his sword as if the tip were afire, and a man with eyes like two pins would say, "Do it now, Cowface! I think you're not even the man your father was!" The people would laugh. I would back away into the darkness, furious at my stupid need to spy on them, and I would glide to the next camp of men, and I'd hear the same.”</span>
