What passage-be more specific.
Read the excerpt from “A Pair of Silk Stockings” by Kate Chopin and answer the question that follows.
Little Mrs. Sommers one day found herself the unexpected possessor of fifteen dollars. It seemed to her a very large amount of money, and the way in which it stuffed and bulged her worn old [pocketbook] gave her a feeling of importance such as she had not enjoyed for years. . . .
A man with keen eyes, who sat opposite to her, seemed to like the study of her small, pale face. It puzzled him to decipher what he saw there. In truth, he saw nothing—unless he were wizard enough to detect a poignant wish, a powerful longing that the cable car would never stop anywhere, but go on and on with her forever.

Answer:
I believe the correct answer is: diction to convey their message.
Both this excerpt from Roosevelt’s State of the Union address and the poster use the particular diction, a style of enunciation in speaking or singing, to convey their message. In his speech Roosevelt uses words such as patriotism, essential and necessary to put an emphasis on the need to send more food to the soldiers, so they could win a war. On the poster, the emphasis is realized by using the dash and by underlining “they”.
