Question

excerpt from \address to the jury\ by emma goldman \but i do know that patrolman randolph and detective cadell doctored the notes, for the simple reason that i didnt say those things. but though we could not produce our own stenographic notes, we have been able to prove by men and women of unimpeachable character and high intelligence that the notes of randolph are utterly false. we have also proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and mr. content did not dare question our proof, that at the hunts point palace, held on the eve or registration, i expressly stated that i cannot and will not tell people not to register. we have further proven that this was my definite stand, which was explained in my statement sent from springfield and read at the meeting of may 23rd.* rhetoric rhetoric is the use of certain skills and techniques to persuade an audience. rhetorical appeals: - ethos - appeals to the audiences character, beliefs, and morals - pathos - appeals to the audiences emotions - logos - appeals to the audiences logic and reasoning what is the positive impact of the rhetoric in emma goldmans speech? it appeals to the religious beliefs of the audience to respect the speaker. it appeals to the emotion of the audience to ignore the facts of the case. it appeals to the audiences logic to recognize the invalidity in the evidence against her.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, Goldman uses evidence like proving through "men and women of unimpeachable character" and showing the notes are false. This is an appeal to logic (Logos). The first option about religious beliefs is not in the text. The second option about ignoring facts is wrong as she presents facts. The third option aligns with her presenting logical proof (like proving the notes false, showing her stand etc.) to show the evidence against her is invalid.

Answer:

It appeals to the audience’s logic to recognize the invalidity in the evidence against her.
