Question

japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the pacific area. the facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. the people of the united states have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. -address to congress requesting a declaration of war with japan, president franklin d. roosevelt. which persuasive technique is used in this passage? hyperbole bandwagon false dilemma

Explanation:

Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration. Bandwagon implies everyone is doing something so you should too. False - dilemma presents only two options when more exist. The passage doesn't use hyperbole as there's no extreme exaggeration. It doesn't use bandwagon as there's no "everyone is doing it" appeal. It presents the situation as a clear - cut threat to national life and safety without offering false choices, but it doesn't use false - dilemma either. However, if we must choose from the given options, bandwagon is not present, false - dilemma is not present, and hyperbole is the least inapplicable among the wrong ones.

Answer:

No correct option from the given ones. If forced to choose, hyperbole is the least wrong as the others are clearly not used.
