Question

read the excerpt from \take the tortillas out of your poetry.\

for me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. to learn to read is to start down the road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. no one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. there are those who think they know best what we should read. these censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.

which best describes how anaya uses rhetorical appeal to convince readers that censors want to limit what people can read?

anaya speaks about everyones right to read what they choose in order to appeal to the readers sense of fairness.
anaya presents documented facts about censors motivations in order to appeal to the readers sense of logic.
anaya discusses his lifelong love of reading in order to establish his expertise for the reader on the topic of censorship
anaya refrains from stating a direct opinion in order to allow the reader to form one based on evidence from many areas of the country.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Anaya mentions "No one has the right to keep you from reading" and that reading should be accessible to everyone, appealing to the reader's sense of fairness (ethos/pathos related to justice).
• Option 2: There are no documented facts presented, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: His lifelong love of reading doesn't establish expertise on censorship specifically, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: He does state his opinion (about censorship being wrong and limiting reading), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Anaya speaks about everyone’s right to read what they choose in order to appeal to the reader’s sense of fairness.
