Explanation:

Question #14

Rhetoric is defined as the art of persuasion. An appeal to ethics (ethos) is just one aspect of rhetorical devices. The description about creating an image beyond literal meaning refers more to figurative language. The emotional suggestion of a word is connotation. Rhetoric encompasses the strategies and techniques used to persuade an audience.

"Don't count your chickens before they are hatched" means not to rely on something that is not yet certain. "Never leave that till tomorrow..." is about procrastination. "God helps them that helps themselves" is about self - help. "Well done is better than well said" is about action vs. words.

Answer:

the art of persuasion.
