Regina tells to Ben (although signalling Horace) following things <u>to make Horace feel as though he deserves a portion of the credit.</u>
Explanation:
The excerpt is from “The Little Foxes” written by Lillian Hellman. In the above passage, Regina talks to Ben and Horace. Regina indirectly tries to convey Horace while talking to Ben that Horace had not responded to Ben’s letter due to his feeling that Ben was not offering him in adequate proportions.
However, being Horace wife and in need of his money, she made it clear to Ben the importance of Horace and his contribution. Indirectly it was Regina’s attempt at influencing Horace to pour his money in the business and making him feel that he too deserved a portion of the credit.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached.
The rhetorical device that is being used is ethos, the rhetorical device used to convince the audience using the emotions to persuade people.
The use of ethos affects the way the text is read and understood in that the author is including words and phrases such as " Denying hateful or historically ‘privileged’ voices a platform is thus necessary to make equality effective so that the marginalized and vulnerable can finally speak up—and be heard.”
These chosen ideas used by the author try to persuade the audience to create a kind of feeling and emotions that makes them react accordingly. That is the purpose of ethos.
Let's remember that the other two approaches are pathos and logos. Pathos uses the reputation of the speaker or author to try to convince the audience, while logos appeals to the reason, the logic, to explain something and convince the audience.
