Question

which sentence most clearly describes part of elie wiesels rhetorical situation in \the perils of indifference\? a. he gives historical examples of when governments failed to intervene. b. he ultimately makes the point that indifference can be worse than evil. c. he lists a number of genocides that took place in the world recently. d. he is speaking just after the united states intervention in kosovo.

Explanation:

The rhetorical situation includes the context in which a speaker addresses an audience. In "The Perils of Indifference", Wiesel's speech was given in a specific historical - political context. The US intervention in Kosovo provides a key part of that context, which is related to the overall rhetorical situation. Options A, B, and C describe content elements of the speech rather than the rhetorical situation.

Answer:

D. He is speaking just after the United States' intervention in Kosovo.
