Question

1. which rhetorical strategy does wiesel use to emphasize the impact of indifference?

a. statistical data to prove that indifference is common in history.
b. personal anecdotes and emotional appeal to show real consequences.
c. logical reasoning without any emotional connection.
d. a humorous tone to make the topic more engaging.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel, in his works (like "The Perils of Indifference"), uses personal anecdotes from his experiences (e.g., Holocaust) and emotional appeal to highlight the real - life, devastating consequences of indifference. Option a is incorrect as he doesn't rely on statistical data. Option c is wrong because his writing has strong emotional connections. Option d is incorrect as the topic of indifference (especially related to the Holocaust) is not approached with a humorous tone.

Answer:

b. Personal anecdotes and emotional appeal to show real consequences.
