Question

read paragraphs 1 to 4 from \every man a king \
how does long use rhetoric to advance his point of view?

a. he uses logos and pathos, evoking the image of starving children and logically arguing that their plight violates the declaration of independence.

b. he relies solely on pathos, making an emotional appeal to the plight of poverty - stricken children.

c. he relies solely on ethos, putting forth his experience as a reliable interpreter of the declaration of independence.

d. he uses ethos and pathos, asserting his authority as a politician while evoking an emotional response from his audience.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: In "Every Man a King", Long uses pathos (evoking emotion with starving children) and logos (logical argument about violating the Declaration of Independence, which emphasizes rights, so a logical breach when children starve).
• Option B: "Solely on pathos" is wrong as he also uses logical arguments (logos), not just emotion.
• Option C: "Solely on ethos" is wrong; he doesn't rely only on his authority/experience, and the focus isn't on interpreting the Declaration via ethos.
• Option D: He doesn't primarily assert political authority (ethos) as the main rhetorical approach; the logical argument (logos) about the Declaration and emotional appeal (pathos) of starving children are key, not his political authority.

Answer:

A. He uses logos and pathos, evoking the image of starving children and logically arguing that their plight violates the Declaration of Independence.
