Question 13

• Analyze each option:
• First option: Describes a type of supporting material, not an attention getter.
• Second option: Refers to speaker credibility (ethos), not an attention getter.
• Third option: Matches the definition of an attention getter (device/technique to gain/keep audience attention in a speech).
• Fourth option: Incorrect as third option is correct.

• Analyze each option:
• "Cite" is giving credit to a source, not rephrasing.
• "Paraphrase" is restating information in one's own words, which matches the definition.
• "Direct quote" is using the exact words of a source.
• "None of these" is incorrect as "paraphrase" is correct.
