Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the B) Imagery.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this excerpt from Walt Whitman's poem "Beat! Beat! Drums!," the poet seems to be exhorting the drums and bugles to play as loudly and fiercely as they can, and one can almost visualize them and hear them. This use of vivid language is called imagery, and is meant to appeal to our senses and emotions. Whitman wrote this poem as a call to arms, hence the use of this figurative and expressive language.
There are three types of appeals or ways of persuasion: ethos, which persuades appealing to ethics; pathos, which appeals to emotion; and logos, which appeals to logic.
The sentence "I think that ’twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon.", uses facts to persuade. The civil rights movement is something that actually happened, and I gather from the sentence that this was said during that time. Both african americans and women were tired of the unjust treatment they receive(d) and began to protest. Since the sentence uses facts to persuade, the appeal used is <u>logos.</u>
