Which evidence from the text "Lake Titicaca" by Miguel Ángel Asturias supports the inference that Lake Titicaca's waters must ha

ve special powers?
"Waves of gigantic, seamless mass from the Cretaceous that become, at the height of the American world, the fairest crown of water: Titicaca."

"Mineral water. Other American lakes have vegetable waters. The sun knows it. And it is not a heavenly body, but a foundry in the west."

"Water in which the armor of the Incan empire’s conquistadors has not rusted. And it has been entombed already for centuries in its profound vase."

"I saw, as the sun was setting, the conquistadors’ steel shadows sink in search of the city of gold, hidden by the waters of this Andean sweet-lake sea."

Answer: "Water in which the armour of the Incan empire’s conquistadors has not rusted. And it has been entombed already for centuries in its profound vase."

Asturias is describing Lake Titicaca, a body of water located between Peru and Bolivia. He claims that the armours of conquistadores can be found there, but that these have not rusted, even though they have been in the lake for centuries. This would be extremely unusual as metal normally rusts when in contact with water. If this claim were true, it would indicate that Lake Titicaca has special powers.

<span>"Water in which the armor of the Incan empire’s conquistadors has not rusted", implies that the waters of Lake Titicaca have a special property. Metal rusts when exposed to normal water, yet the armor has been in the lake ("entombed[...] in its profound vase") for centuries, and has not rusted. The waters must have special powers.</span>

Read this excerpt from Ani's evaluation of Dan DeLuca's argument in his article "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics
Afina-wow [57]

Ani says that Dan Deluca wrote an article that contradicts his stance of the Nobel being well deserved at times, the two sentences of said article that show this kind of contradiction are:

Many of Dylan’s most fervently loved songs—some of which actually are love songs—date from the 1960s, and his being honored at age 75 can be seen as an ultimate affirmation for the baby boomer generation.

and

And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing.

this is because they say that the Nobel might be a product of simple nostalgia and they undermine Dylan as an artist, plus these seem to not be quotes from detractors but something Dan DeLuca is saying himself

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Ethos

Explanation:

The speaker includes himself and members of the public for those primarily responsible for being concerned with the price of tuition charged to students. This represents the use of ethos, as a rhetorical resource that allows the speaker to present thoughts, positions and attitudes that place him on the same level as the audience, because they equate his character and identification with that of a collectivity.
