Identical abilities doesn't equate to equality. 


In the story, everybody in the dystopian society was given impairments to 'level the playing field' so to speak. No one person was smarter or faster or different from anybody else. In doing this, it's supposed to be supporting the idea of a more 'fair' society; however, the supposed 'equality' that resulted from this was ultimately the impairment of the broader spectrum of society.

Which rhetorical appeal is Tubman primarily using in this excerpt to convince people to continue?
krek1111 [17]

Before answering the question, I would like to present the different modes of persuasion, also referred to as ethical strategies or rhetorical appeals. They are maneuvers in rhetoric that classify the speaker's appeal to the audience. The Rhetorical Appeals are:

Ethos: It is how well the presenter convinces the audience that the presenter is qualified to speak on the subject, and by doing that what the presenter says is valid.

Pathos: is an appeal to the audience’s emotions

Logos: it. It is normally used to describe facts and figures that support the speaker's claims or thesis.

Kairos: An orator uses this to their advantage to persuade the audience to act now at the time being.

Even though you did not include the excerpt, I know for sure you mean this one:

<em>"She had told them about the place where they would stay, promising warmth and good food, holding these things out to them as an incentive to keep going."</em>

In this particular case the rhetoric appeal used is:

an appeal to the audience’s wants and needs which is a Pathos Rhetorical appeal.

Using the following citation, choose the correct in-text citation.
dimaraw [331]

The correct in-text citation is option B) (Bussing)

According to MLA in-text citation guidelines, when citing a website source, you only need to cite the author's name inside brackets since the internet sites don't have page numbers. In this case, the author's last name is "Bussing".

Option A is incorrect since the in text citation  includes the full title of the website article in quotation marks.

Option C is also incorrect since it provides the website address

And finally option D is also incorrect because the citation includes the author's last name and the year.
