What is the book or excerpt?
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
While both B. and D. have a certain appeal to pathos, it is D. that most clearly appeals to the emotions and sentiments of the listeners and/or readers. B. refers to the illusion of aislation and to the task that has to be taken on, but it is more an appeal to the sense of duty.
D. is more more somber and appeals to the emotions by describing dark times and difficult days ahead. It then goes on to mention the almost universal support of the majority of the human race.
Answer: D. To demonstrate that he can relate to being oppressed
Explanation: In this excerpt from Elie Wiesel's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, he presents his personal information first <u><em>to demonstrate that he can relate to being oppressed</em></u>. Wiesel presents his personal information first because as a survivor of the Holocaust he wants to tell people that neutrality favours the oppressor and silence encourages the tormentor. So he took side for all the people that suffer oppression around the world.
