Question

which statements are true of both a political speech and a printed political advertisement? select 3 options.
□ they utilize diction as rhetoric.
□ they employ parallelism.
□ they seek to inspire.
□ they use colors and images.
□ they attempt to persuade.

Explanation:

1. They utilize diction as rhetoric: Both political speeches and printed ads carefully choose words (diction) to craft persuasive rhetoric, shaping audience perception.
2. They attempt to persuade: The core goal of both formats is to convince the audience to support a candidate, policy, or political position.
3. They seek to inspire: Both aim to evoke emotional or motivational responses from the audience to drive engagement or action.

Parallelism is not a guaranteed feature of both, and colors/images are exclusive to printed advertisements, not spoken speeches.

Answer:

• They utilize diction as rhetoric.
• They seek to inspire.
• They attempt to persuade.
