Question

read the excerpt from \how the internet and other technologies came about.\

in a scenario of two dazed boxers lying flat on their backs, slowly regaining consciousness, the winner of world war iii would be that country which could stand on its feet first (and so go on to win world war vi). therefore, the pentagons priority was to provide scientists with a way to rebuild the country as fast as possible, unimpeded by unnecessary restrictions.

which type of rhetoric is used most in this excerpt to convince readers of the authors point of view?

• an appeal to logic
• an appeal to the authors character
• an appeal to emotion
• an appeal to ethics

Explanation:

The excerpt uses a vivid, dramatic analogy of dazed boxers post-fight to frame the post-World War III scenario, aiming to evoke a visceral, emotional reaction in readers about the urgency of quick recovery. It does not rely on logical reasoning, ethical arguments, or appeals to the author's credibility.

Answer:

an appeal to emotion
