Question

what might be a sentence the second author could add to the end of the excerpt to use a rhetorical strategy similar to the first author’s? (1 point) a woman elected to congress should ○ carry no more attention than a man being elected. ○ this is not fair, and we must take action at once! ○ i have spent decades studying this, and i know it to be true. ○ is this not true?

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the rhetorical strategy. A rhetorical question is a common strategy where a question is asked to make a point. "Is this not true?" is a rhetorical question, similar to a strategy the first author might use. The other options: the first is a statement about equality, the second is a call to action, and the third is an appeal to authority/experience, none of which are rhetorical questions like "Is this not true?".

Answer:

D. Is this not true?
