Question

why does johnson include an emotional appeal in paragraphs 8-9?
a to remind the audience not to forget the lessons of the recent past
b to demonstrate that he has the skills to unite different political parties
c to encourage the audience to put aside personal ambitions for the greater good
d to prove that his policies are the best solution for the problems that the country faces

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of Johnson's 1964 address. Emotional appeals in political speeches often aim to inspire collective action. Option C focuses on encouraging the audience to prioritize the greater good over personal ambitions, which aligns with the tone of unity and shared purpose in such addresses. Option A is about past lessons (less likely as the main goal of emotional appeal here), B is about uniting parties (not the core of emotional appeal in these paragraphs), and D is about proving policies (more logical than emotional). So the correct answer is C.

Answer:

C. to encourage the audience to put aside personal ambitions for the greater good
