Question

question 4 of 10
read this line from patrick henrys speech:

we have petitioned - we have remonstrated - we have supplicated - we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and parliament.

what is the primary emotion he appeals to here?

a. frustration
b. hope
c. guilt
d. excitement

Explanation:

Patrick Henry's line describes repeated attempts (petitioned, remonstrated, supplicated, prostrated, implored) to get a response from the throne against tyranny, but with no success implied. Frustration comes from repeated efforts with no desired outcome. Hope would imply optimism for change, guilt is about remorse, and excitement is positive energy—none fit as well as frustration.

Answer:

A. Frustration
