Question

\because last years accident rates tripled on that stretch of road, the city added a new traffic signal to reduce collisions.\ which rhetorical device is used in the sentence above? logos parallelism pathos allusion question 6 1 pts how does this detail clarify the situation? it implies that the public demanded the change without any real evidence. it suggests the accident rates were caused by unrelated factors. it provides factual reasoning that explains why the new safety measure was necessary. it shows the city acted based only on emotional reactions.

Explanation:

• For the first question: Logos is a rhetorical device that appeals to logic and reason. The statement about accident rates tripling (a factual, logical piece of information) leading to the addition of a traffic signal is an appeal to reason/logic. Parallelism is about similar grammatical structures (not present here). Pathos appeals to emotion (no emotional language here). Allusion is a reference to something else (not seen here).
• For the second question: The detail of accident rates tripling is factual reasoning. It's not suggesting the public demanded without evidence (no mention of public demand). It doesn't imply unrelated factors caused accidents (the accident rate is directly linked to the traffic signal addition). And it's not based on emotional reactions (it's a factual increase in accident rates, not an emotional plea).

Answer:

First question: Logos
Second question: It provides factual reasoning that explains why the new safety measure was necessary.
