Answer

Answer:

They utilize diction as rhetoric, They employ parallelism, They seek to inspire, They attempt to persuade (Note: "They use colors and images" is not true for a political speech as a speech doesn't use colors/images in the same way a printed advertisement does, so the correct three (or more? Wait, the question says "Select 3 options" but let's re - evaluate:

  1. "They utilize diction as rhetoric": Both political speeches and printed ads use word choice (diction) to persuade, so this is true.
  2. "They employ parallelism": Parallel structure can be used in both to make the message more impactful, so this is true.
  3. "They seek to inspire": Both aim to inspire the audience (voters, etc.) to take action or support a cause, so this is true.
  4. "They use colors and images": A political speech (oral) doesn't use colors and images like a printed ad, so this is false.
  5. "They attempt to persuade": Both political speeches and printed ads are made to persuade people (to vote, support a policy, etc.), so this is true.

Assuming the question wants three, let's pick the first, second, and fifth or first, third, fifth. But let's check again. Maybe the intended correct ones are: They utilize diction as rhetoric, They seek to inspire, They attempt to persuade (or other combinations, but the key is that "use colors and images" is out. Let's confirm each:

  • Diction as rhetoric: In a speech, the speaker chooses words (diction) to persuade; in an ad, the writer chooses words, so yes.
  • Parallelism: Both can use parallel structure for emphasis, yes.
  • Seek to inspire: Both want to inspire the audience to act (vote, support), yes.
  • Use colors and images: Speech is oral, no colors/images in the same way, so no.
  • Attempt to persuade: Both are persuasive in nature (political speech to get votes/support, ad to do the same), yes.

So the correct three (assuming the options are to pick three) are: They utilize diction as rhetoric, They seek to inspire, They attempt to persuade (or including "They employ parallelism" if that's also correct. Let's say the three correct ones are:

  1. They utilize diction as rhetoric
  2. They seek to inspire
  3. They attempt to persuade

(Or including "They employ parallelism" – it depends on the exact interpretation, but the main point is to exclude "They use colors and images".)

Brief Explanations:

  • "They utilize diction as rhetoric": Both political speeches (through spoken word choice) and printed political advertisements (through written word choice) use diction to create a persuasive effect (rhetoric).
  • "They seek to inspire": A political speech aims to inspire the audience (e.g., to vote, support a cause), and a printed political advertisement also aims to inspire people to take action (e.g., support a candidate).
  • "They attempt to persuade": The core purpose of both a political speech and a printed political advertisement is to persuade the audience (e.g., to vote for a candidate, support a policy).
  • "They employ parallelism": Parallelism (repeating similar grammatical structures) can be used in both a speech (for rhetorical effect when spoken) and a printed ad (for emphasis when read) to make the message more powerful.
  • "They use colors and images": A political speech is an oral medium and does not use colors and images in the way a printed advertisement (which is visual) does, so this is incorrect.
