I believe the answer is C

The definition of a parable is: a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels. 
The definition of pathos is: a quality that evokes pity or sadness

In the excerpt above, when Wiesel says "Only God and God alone can and must remember everything," he is using parable to illustrate how great God is, by giving an example of something he can do that not one person on earth can.
Also, by saying "<span>Without the ability to forget, man would live in a permanent, paralyzing fear of death," Wiesel is using pathos to stimulate a feeling of sadness, as thinking of how paralyzing fear of death cannot be very pleasant.</span>

The correct answer is C 

A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse that illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from a fable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. The simplest way to put it is a parable is a type of analogy. 

Pathos is a communication technique used most often in rhetoric (where it is considered one of the three modes of persuasion, alongside ethos and logos), and in literature, film and other narrative art

Which of the following is not a purpose of drama
Novosadov [1.4K]
The purpose of a Tragic drama is to cause Catharsis, that is pity for the main character who is often a better person than ourselves. The purpose of a Comedy play is to mock people who are worse than us and learn from their mistakes. This was defined by Aristotle, so you can fit this definition into your possible answers.

Is this still true at the end?- I think this could be answered either way.
I think that Nick hates the way money makes people act and that the rest of the characters are so caught up in this that it causes the outcome (or tragedy) at the end of the book.

Why is appeal to authority used
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

When writers or speakers use appeal to authority, they are claiming that something must be true because it is believed by someone who said to be an "authority" on the subject. Whether the person is actually an authority or not, the logic is unsound. Instead of presenting actual evidence, the argument just relies on the credibility of the "authority."

Examples of Appeal to Authority:

1. A commercial claims that a specific brand of cereal is the best way to start the day because athlete Michael Jordan says that it is what he eats every day for breakfast.

2. A book argues that global warming is not actually happening, and cites the research of one environmental scientist who has been studying climate change for several years.

3. Someone argues that drinking is morally wrong and cites a sermon from her pastor at church.

4. A little boy says that his friends should not go swimming in a river because his Mama said there were germs in the river.

5. A commercial claims that 3 out of 4 dentists would choose this particular brand of toothpaste for their own families to use.

6. My sister-in-law, who is a teacher, said that this school is not somewhere that I would want to send my children.
