Question

read the excerpt from franklin roosevelts request for a declaration of war. it will be recorded that the distance of hawaii from japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. during the intervening time the japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the united states by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. which best describes the type of appeal used in this part of the speech? a logical appeal an ethical appeal an emotional appeal an expert appeal

Explanation:

Logical appeal (logos) uses facts, evidence, and reasoning. Here, Roosevelt uses the fact of the distance between Hawaii and Japan to reason that the attack was pre - planned and the Japanese government's false statements as evidence. Ethical appeal (ethos) is about credibility. Emotional appeal (pathos) is to evoke feelings. Expert appeal is not a standard rhetorical appeal.

Answer:

a logical appeal
