Question

john f. kennedy - inaugural speech

the repetition of \we pledge\ and \let every nation know\ is an example of which type of persuasion?

historical examples

emotional appeal (pathos)

logical appeal (logos)

Explanation:

• Historical examples: These involve referencing past events or figures. The repetition of "we pledge" and "let every nation know" does not reference history.
• Emotional appeal (pathos): Pathos aims to evoke feelings. Repetition here is more about emphasizing commitment (a logical aspect) rather than pure emotion.
• Logical appeal (logos): Logos uses reasoning. The repetition of "we pledge" and "let every nation know" emphasizes the commitment and determination (a logical stance) of the speaker and the nation.

Answer:

Logical appeal (logos)
