Question

question 6 of 10
read this line from patrick henrys speech:
we have petitioned - we have remonstrated - we have supplicated - we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and parliament.
what is the primary emotion he appeals to here?
a. excitement
b. guilt
c. frustration
d. hope

Explanation:

The speaker lists multiple efforts (petitioning, remonstrating, etc.) that have seemingly gone unheeded by the throne, ministry, and Parliament. This suggests a sense of being thwarted in their attempts, which is indicative of frustration. There is no indication of excitement, guilt, or hope in this passage.

Answer:

C. Frustration
