Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Analyze Option 1: The excerpt does not present factual evidence (like statistics, research data) but rather opinions about reading and censorship, so this is incorrect.
  2. Analyze Option 2: The author presents a strong opinion about the right to read and the wrongness of censorship, appealing to the reader's sense of justice (the idea that everyone should have access to reading and no one should censor). This matches the rhetoric.
  3. Analyze Option 3: There is no emotional anecdote (a personal story with emotions); the text is a statement of opinion, not a story, so this is incorrect.
  4. Analyze Option 4: The author references their love of reading, but the focus is on censorship and the right to read, not appealing to the author's character in a way that relates to censorship awareness. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. a strong opinion is presented to appeal to the reader’s sense of justice
