read the excerpt from \how the internet and other technologies came about.\\nin 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.\nwhich type of rhetoric is used most in this excerpt to convince readers of the authors point of view?\n○ an appeal to logic\n○ an appeal to the authors character\n○ an appeal to emotion\n○ an appeal to ethics
Answer
Brief Explanations:
The author uses a fictional and extreme - war scenario to make a point about the Pentagon's priorities. This is a logical construction to persuade readers, as it presents a cause - and - effect relationship between winning a war and the need for unrestricted scientific support for rebuilding. There are no appeals to the author's character, emotion, or ethics evident here.
Answer:
an appeal to logic
