Question

1. what is rhetoric?

writing that forces your audience to think a certain way
writing that uses figures of speech and allusions
writing that deliberately creates emotional impact
writing that casually draws the audience into a topic

Explanation:

Rhetoric is the art of using language effectively to persuade or influence an audience. It often involves the use of figures of speech (such as metaphors, similes) and allusions (references to other works, events, or people). While rhetoric can create emotional impact (through pathos in rhetorical appeals) or draw an audience in, its core is centered around the use of such literary and linguistic devices. "Forces" in the first option is too strong as rhetoric aims to persuade rather than force. The third option is more about the effect of one aspect of rhetoric (emotional appeal - pathos) rather than the over - arching definition. The fourth option is too casual.

Answer:

writing that uses figures of speech and allusions
