It appeals to readers' fear by explaining a natural disaster. It appeals to readers' sense of humor by retelling a funny story.

Answer 1

I looked this question up and found this excerpt it refers to. It is the following:

I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.

Answer:

The quotation appeals to readers' emotions because:

B. It appeals to readers' sympathy by describing difficult times.

Explanation:

According to the quotation by Dorothea Lange on her famous photograph "Migrant Mother", the woman whose picture she took is suffering terribly. She has no money and barely any food for her children. We can't help but feel sympathy for her when we read they are surviving on frozen vegetables found in the surrounding fields and birds that the children kill. Many of us have experienced difficult times, but not many of us would have needed to sell the tires from our cars to buy food, or to live in a tent.

Having that in mind, we can easily choose letter B as the correct option: It appeals to readers' sympathy by describing difficult times.
