Answer 8

Logos
This is an appeal to logic — to your brain. Specific examples, logical conclusions, and indisputable facts all fall under the category of logos.

Pathos
Pathos is an appeal to emotions — to your heart. Emotional anecdotes and words that have strong connotations (liberty, slaughter) are ways to appeal to emotions.

Answer 9

Strategic word choice is the basic definition of diction . Someone who is making an argument or trying to persuade another person usually chooses words pretty carefully. A writer or speaker might use emotional diction, critical diction, or some other type of diction to affect the audience.

Answer 10

When an author uses parallelism in an argument, he or she is crafting sentences with similar structures so that they stand out and can be more easily remembered.
