question 10
which statement accurately uses academic language to describe dr. kings argument? (v.1.1)
king strategically prioritizes emotional appeal to unify audiences across social divides
king uses rhetorical appeals to connect logic, emotion, and moral authority in defending nonviolent action.
kings tone relies on restraint to demonstrate that persuasion is superior to confrontation.
king manipulates logic to counter accusations of extremism rather than focusing on moral reasoning.

Explanation:

Academic language should be objective and precise. The first option only focuses on emotional appeal, which is too narrow. The third option about tone and the fourth option about manipulation are not as comprehensive as the second option. The second option correctly mentions rhetorical appeals (which include logos - logic, pathos - emotion, and ethos - moral authority) and the context of defending non - violent action.

Answer:

King uses rhetorical appeals to connect logic, emotion, and moral authority in defending nonviolent action.
