Answer:

The effect that asking rhetorical questions like this one have on an audience is that:

* It forces the listener to accept there is not one expected answer.

* It makes the sermon seem directed at the listener personally.

* It makes the listener think about their actions.

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide either the sentence of reference nor the options to answer it. Here is the complete question:

“How can you rest one moment in such a condition?”

What effect does asking rhetorical questions like this one have on an audience? Check all that apply.

A) It forces the listener to accept there is not one expected answer.

B) It forces the reader to think about ways to answer the question successfully.

C) It forces the reader to generate a set of related questions to ask the speaker.

D) It makes the sermon seem directed at the listener personally.

E) It makes the listener think about their actions.

This rhetorical question comes from Jonathan Edwards's "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and it has the same objective as the full work does of giving a sermon and a lesson to the sinners. then it is correct to say that this kind of question is gonna appeal to the human conscience of the audience.

I'm not sure if there is supposed to be an additional picture ,but asking rhetorical questions is a clever way to make the reader think about what they are writing.

The type of biased language is, "b. ability," mainly because Haley states, "Would you get a move on? Are you deaf?" and it's insulting Kenneth's ability, as if she was saying he can't hear what's clearly being said.

ira [324]

The best answer is A) Reverent

This excerpt refers to the American Revolution (Columbia was often a way of referring to America at the time). The tone is reverent, meaning admiring or adoring. She describes the celestial choir enthroned in realms of light, which paints an almost god-like picture of the Revolution and the values that the Americans were fighting for.

Does Samuel Sewall appeal more to logic or to emotion in "The Selling of Joseph: A Memorial"? Back up your response with evidenc

schepotkina [342]

It has logic and emotion, but mostly logic. His logic is very clear that if you follow the bible you shouldn't condemned slavery and killings of hundred of people. When practicing the bible and being christians one has to act like christ and follow the teachings of him and the bible. They cannot prove Joseph's enslavement as wrong, but still enslave people who were like Joseph. In it Sewall not only condemns the practice of human trafficking, but goes on to challenge many common slave owners held the practice of enslavement and yet still be followers of God. He uses Joseph as example to bring light to what they are doing wrong. Sewall also cites several Biblical passages which Sewall uses to make a of the practice of man stealing. Using logic is very clear in his writing about people just choosing to ignore themselves on being a hypocrite and make them question their own strong held belief.

Lyrx [107]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.”

Now some people like to act like things come easy to them, won’t let on that they practice. Not me. I’ll high-prance down 34th street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong even if it does get my mother uptight so that she walks ahead like she’s not with me, don’t know me, is all by herself on a shopping trip, and I am somebody else’s crazy child.

What does the narrative voice in this passage reveal about Squeaky’s character?

A. She doesn’t like the way her mother treats her.

B. She doesn’t care about how she looks to others.

C. She feels like she has to work harder than others.

D. She wants everyone to know how fast she runs

Answer:

The narrative voice reveals that:

B. She doesn’t care about how she looks to others.

Explanation:

"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara. The narrator is Squeaky, whose real name is Hazel. She is a smart, determined, and competitive girl. Squeaky tries her best, no matter what the challenge is. And she clearly does not care what others think of her. She will not hide what she is doing. She will not change the way she is doing it. That is specially clear when she says, "even if it does get my mother uptight so that she walks ahead like she's not with me." Squeaky will do what she thinks is best for her, independently on how others seem to feel about it. She may look like "somebody else's crazy child," but the way she looks to others is not important.
