This question is missing the paragraph. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Which rhetorical technique does this paragraph demonstrate?

Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech.

In Europe, only one nation and those it controls refuse to join the community of freedom. Yet in this age of redoubled economic growth, of information and innovation, the Soviet Union faces a choice: It must make fundamental changes, or it will become obsolete. Today thus represents a moment of hope. We in the West stand ready to cooperate with the East to promote true openness, to break down barriers that separate people, to create a safer, freer world.

A) ad hominem

B) false dilemma

C) hasty generalization

D) bandwagon appeal

Answer:

The rhetorical technique demonstrate by the paragraph is:

B) false dilemma

Explanation:

False dilemma is a type of fallacy that establishes a sort of either/or situation when, in reality, there are more than just the two options presented in the speech. Notice how President Reagan says the Soviet Union has only two choices: " It must make fundamental changes, or it will become obsolete." Of course, the Soviet Union certainly had several options taking into consideration all the political paths a country can choose to follow. Still, Reagan makes it sound as if those are the only two possibilities. False dilemma, as any other fallacy, is used with the purpose of convincing the audience of the speaker's opinion. However, it can be deceiving.

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question but this is what I think:

Protectively = adverb (ends with -ly and describes verbs)

Protective = adjective (describes nouns)

Protect = verb (is a doing word)

Protection = noun (the name of something?)


Hope this helps :)

This question is incomplete; here´s the complete question.

C. To establish the narrator as unreliable.

D. To make the narrator’s later shift in understanding more significant

Answer: D. To make the narrator’s later shift in understanding more significant

Explanation:

At first, the narrator highlights how much he´s intrigued about why would Mr. Abe keep collecting and polishing abalone shells since his front porch was practically full of them already. This initial mystery becomes more significant when the narrator finds an abalone shell, understands the reason for that practice, and starts a collection of his own.

ANEK [815]

Answer: It features a reference to a supernatural being.

In this excerpt, we encounter a myth from the Maasai. This myth states that there is a supernatural being called Enkai, who is a sky god. Enkai has no gender. It can act kindly by giving the people rain, or cruelly by making the earth dry up. The presence of a supernatural being who can control the destiny of humans makes this a good example of a myth.
