Question

select the correct answer. read these sentences from farahs rhetorical analysis of \chief joseph surrenders.\ to begin, chief joseph appeals to his audiences emotions by exclaiming that he is \tired of fighting.\ while he may be physically tired, what has truly worn chief joseph out is the perpetual loss of his tribe members. to illustrate this, he repeats the words \death\ and \dead\ seven times throughout his surrender. the continuous use of these words mirrors the mounting death toll at the hands of the white men, making it clear his grief is debilitating. furthermore, chief josephs declaration that his \heart is sick and sad\ solidifies his inability to emotionally withstand the massacre of his people. he can no longer make himself fight. both his heart and people can no longer take it. which words in farahs paragraph clarify the relationship between reasons and evidence? a. while b. making it clear c. furthermore d. to begin

Explanation:

"Making it clear" is used to show that the repeated use of "death" and "dead" (evidence) clarifies the chief's grievous situation (reason). "While" is a contrast - indicating word, "furthermore" is for adding more information not directly relating reasons and evidence, and "to begin" is an introductory phrase.

Answer:

B. making it clear
