Question

the daughter of one of four african national congress activists, whom the police ambushed and then killed gruesomely--their mutilated bodies were found in their burnt-out car--came to tell her story. she said the police were still harassing her mother and her children, even after their father had died. when she finished, i asked her whether she would be able to forgive those who had done this. we were meeting in a city hall packed to the rafters. you could hear the proverbial pin drop, as she replied, \we would like to forgive. we just want to know whom to forgive.\ question: which of the following examples from paragraph 9 best illustrates the use of charged language to convey a powerful emotional response? ○ \the greatest good is communal corporate harmony, and resentment, anger, revenge are corrosive of this harmony.\ ○ \we would like to forgive. we just want to know whom to forgive.\ ○ \we were exhilarated as we heard people who had suffered grievously, who by rights should have been baying for the blood of their tormentors...\ ○ \the turmoil and instability that many feared would accompany these crucial events have not occurred.\

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The question is about identifying the use of charged language to convey a powerful emotional response. Charged language uses words with strong emotional connotations. "Corrosive" in "corrosive of this harmony" has a negative, strong - emotional impact. It implies that something is eating away at harmony, which is a powerful emotional image. Other options like "turmoil", "exhilarated", "baying" do not have the same level of emotional intensity in terms of conveying a strong, negative emotional response related to the disruption of harmony as "corrosive" does.

Answer:

"Corrosive of this harmony."
