Question

read the excerpt from ronald reagans tear down this wall speech. today the city thrives in spite of the challenges implicit in the very presence of this wall. what keeps you here? certainly theres a great deal to be said for your fortitude, for your defiant courage. but i believe theres something deeper, something that involves berlins whole look and feel and way of life - not mere sentiment.... in a word, i would submit that what keeps you in berlin is love - love both profound and abiding. which type of appeal does reagan use in this part of the speech? logical ethical emotional rational

Explanation:

• Logical appeal (logos) relies on facts, data, and reasoning. Here, there is no such evidence presented.
• Ethical appeal (ethos) is about the credibility or character of the speaker. The text does not focus on Reagan's credibility in this regard.
• Emotional appeal (pathos) targets feelings. Words like "fortitude", "defiant courage", and "love" evoke strong emotions.
• Rational appeal is similar to logical. Since there is no factual - based reasoning, it is not applicable.

Answer:

emotional
