The sentence is taken from the short story Editha by William Howell. The theme revolves around patriotism, media and war. Editha is the main female lead of the story who forces her fiancé to enlist in the war.

The correct meaning of the underlined word Ignoble is:

Option B. <u>Contemptible</u>

The word can be explained as:

  • The word ignoble is used to describe the peace at a place but it is contemptible as there is no actual peace in the city as they are going through warfare.

  • The word contemptible also means despicable and hateful that fits best with the story theme.

Thus, ignoble means contemptible.

Which best describes the type of appeal used in this part of the speech? a logical appeal an ethical appeal an emotional appeal
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

This is the excerpt the question refers to:

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The appeal of that excerpt is: logical appeal

Explanation:

In the excerpt, a logical fact is being pointed at: Japan is very far from Hawaii, and because the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not only unexpected, but also successful (for the Japanese), it must have been planned many days or weeks ago.

An deadly attack on foreign soil, that is far away from home, cannot be rushed out. It needs planning, and that is obviously what the Japanese did.

wariber [46]

Answer:

A. Our country can no longer refuse involvement because it can not allow freedom and peace to be at risk.

Explanation:

This excerpt from, "Wilson's War Message to Congress," is clearly discouraging neutrality. Neutrality is the act of not being involved or taking sides in a dispute. Wilson explained that in a world where some governments have made themselves autocratic, thus stifling peace and freedom of citizens, it would be wrong to be neutral, not making efforts to salvage the situation.

Wilson in this paragraph encouraged participation in governance so that citizens can resist actions from the government that are autocratic in nature.
