Personal Explanation:

The authors decision to add many details to Babbitts situation (most likely) to help the reader gain more knowledge about how Babbitt thinks or how they see the world around them. Maybe it's a very detailed description of what Babbitt wants to see?  Or what they want the world around them to become. There are many ways a reader could interpret this.  

I hope that helped at least a little. :)

KatRina [158]

Answer:

- Emotion-arousing words to trigger audience response.

Explanation:

The authors often employ various persuasive techniques(ethos, logos, or pathos) to convince the audience to believe and accept the claim or idea proposed by the author.

In the given excerpt, the textbook tip for persuasion that Gore employed effectively would be 'emotion or ethos' which involves 'employing arousing or triggering words' that targets the emotions of the audience and elicit desired emotional response from them.

In order to be MOST precise in meaning, the underlined phrase labeled (1) should be changed to
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

In order to be MOST precise in meaning, the underlined phrase labeled (1) should be changed to :

D) the U.S. government moved many Cherokees west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma.

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the excerpt with the phrase to be substituted, here is the paragraph:

About 200 years ago the Cherokee Indians were one tribe, or "Indian Nation" that lived in the southeast part of what is now the United States. During the 1830s and 1840s, the period covered by the Indian Removal Act, many Cherokees were moved west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma.

The use of an active sentence emphasizes the fact that Cherokees did not move voluntarily from their land, they were forced by the U.S. Government as they were applying a new law, this gives a clearer idea of who were the active subject in this situation and that the Cherokee just had to accept what they were told to do.
