Question

which excerpt best demonstrates wiesels use of rhetorical questions to conclude his argument in the perils of indifference? a. and so, once again, i think of the young jewish boy from the carpathian mountains. he has accompanied the old man i have become throughout these years of quest and struggle. b. some of them — so many of them — could be saved. c. does it mean that we have learned from the past? does it mean that society has changed? d. but this time, the world was not silent. this time, we do respond. this time, we intervene.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question asked not for an answer but for effect or to make a point. Option C contains two questions ("Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it mean that society has changed?") which are rhetorical as they are used to prompt reflection rather than seek an answer, and they conclude the argument by making the audience think about the implications of past events and social change.

Answer:

C. Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it mean that society has changed?
