Explanation:

Question 9

To determine the rhetorical device in paragraph 10 (not fully visible, but analyzing options: Alliteration is repeating initial consonant sounds; Metaphor is a figure of speech; Rhetorical question is a question asked for effect, not answer; Zeugma is using a word to modify two others, one literally, one figuratively. But since the question is about "mostly use" and common in such contexts, if we assume the paragraph (not shown) but typical, but wait, the options: Wait, maybe a typo, but for question 9, if we assume the context, but actually, the user's image has question 9: "What rhetorical device does the author mostly use in paragraph 10?" options a. alliteration, b. metaphor, c. rhetorical question, d. Zeugma. But without the paragraph, we can't answer. Wait, maybe the user missed providing paragraph 10. But for question 10:

Question 10

The sentence is "I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year. Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. (paragraph 2)". The author mentions "I’ve given a lot of speeches about education" to establish credibility (ethos) by showing experience. Option b is about appeal to credibility (ethos), a is pathos (emotion), c and d are logos (reason/logic). So the author uses ethos (appeal to credibility) by highlighting their experience with giving education speeches.

Answer:

b. the author makes an appeal to credibility

(Note: For question 9, the paragraph 10 is not provided, so we can't answer it without that text. If you provide paragraph 10, I can assist further.)
