The correct answer is C. The excerpt compares the tree to a person, which makes readers feel sympathetic toward the tree.

Explanation:

Appeals to the emotions is a type of persuasion technique in which the author or speaker uses the language to cause certain emotions in the audience or reader and convince people about the points or ideas the author is describing, this type of persuasion technique uses multiple resources including using fear, explain the negative consequences some situation could have, appeal to a feeling of pity or ridicule, among others. In the excerpt presented, the author describes the way the bark of a tree was removed and sent to London to show the size of the tree for doing this the author mainly attributes human features to the author as in the case of "was skinned alive" in which the author compares the bark of a tree to the skin of people and the process of removing the bark to the process of skinning someone alive, also the author compares this actions to "skinning our great men... to prove their greatness". This use of language by the author mainly evokes empathetic feelings on the reader as the author shows removing the bark of a tree is quite similar to removing the skin of a person. Thus, it can be concluded, the author appeals to the readers' emotions by comparing the tree to a person, which makes readers feel sympathetic toward the tree.

Predict how you feel time, place, weather, and colors will play a key role in setting the Dystopian tone in 1984
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Explanation:

Setting and tone/mood can be seen to go hand in hand, so to speak.  For instance, a scene of a story or poem that takes place in a field of flower on a bright and sunny day would contribute to a tone of happiness.  That said, the time 1984 occurs is in the future for the characters of the novel.  The place is London, and the weather and color are, respectively, dreary and gray.   Because the future can never be known for sure, this uncertainty contributes to the dystopian tone.   Likewise, when one thinks about the miserable nature for people that would be caused by a dystopian society, bright and sunny are not what one might generally think.   Setting in 1984 contributes to the tone of dystopia because when one pictures what a dystopia might look like, smoggy, foggy, and gray are probably what come to mind.
