Question

the crowning achievement of president thomas jeffersons administration was his purchase of the louisiana territory from the french emperor, napoleon, in 1803. by doing so, he effectively doubled the amount of land occupied by the united states. this annexation was 530 million acres of wilderness. while there had been indigenous people living on that land for years, it had not been mapped and categorized by a member of the united states government yet. in order to take stock of what was in that territory and what existed on the western half of the continent, jefferson decided to send a team of explorers to investigate and report back to him. jefferson selected meriwether lewis to be the leader of the team, and lewis chose john clark to be his co-captain.the team was named the corps of discovery, and they hoped to find passages, animals, and plants which would be new and unheard of to the eastern-dwelling americans. it was in this spirit that the team of approximately four dozen men—and lewiss newfoundland dog—set off from st. louis, missouri, in may, 1804.use the table to identify whether each statement uses an emotional appeal or logical reasoning to develop the authors point of view.available options ( 3 of 3 )\this spirit of discovery and exploration that the expedition manifested is also a part of the american spirit.\ (paragraph 5)\by doing so, he effectively doubled the amount of land occupied by the united states.\ (paragraph 1)\it can be said that because the land was inhabited, they did not discover anything new; they simply claimed it for the united states government.\ (paragraph 5)emotional appeal (0 of 1)logical reasoning (0 of 2)

Explanation:

• Emotional appeal uses values, sentiment, or shared identity to persuade. The statement linking the expedition's spirit to "American spirit" leverages national identity and emotion.
• Logical reasoning relies on factual data or evidence. The statement about doubling U.S. land uses a concrete, verifiable fact to support a point.
• Logical reasoning here uses a factual premise (the land was inhabited) to draw a reasoned conclusion about the expedition's actions, relying on evidence rather than emotion.

Answer:

Emotional Appeal:
"This spirit of discovery and exploration that the expedition manifested is also a part of the American spirit." (paragraph 5)

Logical Reasoning:
"By doing so, he effectively doubled the amount of land occupied by the United States." (paragraph 1)
"It can be said that because the land was inhabited, they did not discover anything new; they simply claimed it for the United States' government." (paragraph 5)
