Question

in his speech about natural disasters, paul included the following statement: floods are psychologically as well as physically devastating. as one local flood victim told me, \it is a helpless feeling to see the water con to rise—to see it wash away your home, to see it wash away your life. i just feel like giving up.\ according to your textbook, what kind of supporting material did paul use? multiple choice authoritative testimony extended testimony emotional testimony subjective testimony peer testimony

Explanation:

Paul used a statement from a local flood victim. Emotional testimony involves sharing personal feelings and experiences. The victim's words about feeling helpless and like giving up express strong emotions related to the flood. Authoritative testimony would be from an expert. Extended testimony is a longer account. Subjective testimony is more about personal opinions. Peer testimony is from someone with similar experiences but not necessarily with the emotional focus here.

Answer:

C. emotional testimony
