Question

why would an author use rhetorical devices in a nonfiction article? to make themselves appear educated to help them lengthen the pieces they are writing to help convince the reader to agree with their perspective to remove any biases from their writing

Explanation:

Rhetorical devices (like appeals to logic, emotion, or credibility) in nonfiction are primarily used to persuade readers, strengthen the author's argument, and encourage alignment with their viewpoint. The other options are incorrect: rhetorical devices do not inherently make an author appear educated, are not used to lengthen writing, and do not remove bias (they can even be used to frame biased perspectives persuasively).

Answer:

○ to help convince the reader to agree with their perspective
