Answer:

Rhetorical techniques or rhetorical devices represent a set of methods used to persuade a person or to convey a message or a point more effectively. There are lot of rhetorical techniques, but let us consider the ones given above.

Overstatement means exaggerating, stating things in an exaggerated manner in order to inhance the effect of a claim. Best fitting given example is "Millions will be affected by the traffic". Since we can not know for sure the precise number of people affected, we estimate an exaggerated number to emphasize the seriousness of the issue.

Next we have parallelism. That basically means that we use words in a certain manner to achieve a repetition, rhythm or flow that will sound more persuasive. It is most often achieved by using parts of sentence that are similar in meaning, construction or grammatically. Matching example for this is "To err is human, to forgive is divine". The two clauses forming this sentence have the similar meaning, rhythm and are using similar words.

Shift is rhetorical device with its main feature of suddenly changing the tone or the style in the text. They can be identified by conjunctions that suggest opposition and contrast, like "On the other hand, he couldn't be more incorrect". We can conclude that previous sentence had different meaning and tone and that this sencence altered it to a complete opposition.

There are three basic types of appeal:

- logical appeal (logos) which is using of logical arguments to persuade a person

- emotional appeal (pathos) which is using emotions to persuade person

- ethical appeal (ethos) which is using one's character or credibility to persuade person.

In example "As a dentist, I can recommend this brand of toothpaste", we clearly see using dentist's profession, knowledge and title as a reliable source of information that persuades us into buying that particular toothpaste which makes it an ethical appeal.

7. (LF 3.37) Modern Greek is an Indo-European language spoken in Greece. Examine the sounds [ x ], [ k ], [ ç ], and [ c ] in th
Galina-37 [17]

Contrastive distribution occurs when  two sounds placed in the same context produce different meanings.  This is the case in the sounds [k] and [x] . For example: <em>[kano] 'do' versus [xano] 'lose'. </em>

The same happens with the sounds [ç] and [c]. They are in constrastive distribution as in shown in the following example: <em>[çino] 'pour' versus [cino] 'move </em>

In complementary distribution, where one sound occurs the other cannot.  This is the case in  the sounds [k] and [c] The first sound  (palatal stop) appears before front vowels whereas the second sound (velar stop) appears elsewhere.

The sounds [ç] and [x] are also in complementary distribution. As in the previous example, the palatal appears before front vowels and the velar appears elsewhere

Answer:

<h3>Susan B. Anthony was a crusader for equal rights.</h3>

Susan B. Anthony was an American activist for women's emancipation and political rights.

Anthony grew up in a quaker family and initially worked as a teacher. She was an early advocate for the abolition of slavery along with her family who joined the Abolitionist movement during the 1840s when the family moved to the city of Rochester in New York. This laid the foundation for her focus as a social reformer, focusing on issues such as women's economic situation and women's suffrage. She also came to represent the American Anti-Slavery Society in New York until the start of the Civil War.

After a period of work on his family's farm, Anthony came to work on women's rights issues and social reforms full-time. She became involved in what came to be called the suffragette movement, where she came to play a central role. Together with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. She constantly expressed her opinion through lectures and writings that the key to women's liberation lay in political representation. She also emphasized that all other reforms, however important they may be, could never be more important than the demand for women's suffrage.

Almost immediately after joining the movement, she signed a petition addressed to the New York state legislature. There, she demanded three major reforms: 1) the woman's right to manage her own earnings, 2) the custody of the children in the event of a divorce, and 3) the right to vote. Her and organization's efforts finally won the hearing, and in 1860 the state of New York passed a bill that gave the woman the right to "in addition to possessing property also dispose of her own earnings, initiate process and, upon the death of her husband, have the same rights as he had over his wife had passed away before him ". These reforms were a step on the road for women in New York.

When the Civil War broke out in 1861, all activities for women's liberation ceased. Some followers such as Louisa May Alcott chose to work as a nurse, but Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton visited all major cities instead with the slogan "No compromises with slave owners"; they succeeded in gathering 400,000 signatures, which led Congress to approve the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which meant that all slaves would be released immediately.

Work on women's right to vote came to continue to be pursued through the National Woman Suffrage Association and only in 1920, 14 years after Anthony's death as the United States introduced female suffrage through the 19th Amendment.
