read the excerpt from how the internet and other technologies came about
in a scenario of two dazed boxers lying flat on their backs, slowly regaining consciousness, the winner of
world war iii would be that country which could stand on its feet first (and so go on to win world war vi).
therefore, the pentagons priority was to provide scientists with a way to rebuild the country as fast as
possible, unimpeded by unnecessary restrictions.
which type of rhetoric is used most in this excerpt to convince readers of the authors point of view?
o an appeal to logic
o an appeal to the authors character
o an appeal to emotion
o an appeal to ethics

Explanation:

The author presents a logical scenario (two - boxers metaphor for post - war countries) and a logical conclusion (Pentagon's priority of providing scientists with unrestricted means for fast - rebuilding). There is no appeal to the author's character (ethos), emotion (pathos), or ethics (moral principles). It is based on a rational argument structure.

an appeal to logic
