Question

select the correct answer. tobias is writing a rhetorical analysis of the use of pathos in \declaration of sentiments.\ which sentence could be used to introduce his first reason and clearly connect it to the claim? a. stanton’s use of pathos is so effective because she uses emotionally charged words. b. examples of stanton’s emotionally charged word choices include as \compelled\ and \deprived.\ c. a wide range of emotionally charged words are used in different ways throughout the text. d. however, stanton’s use of emotionally charged words strengthens her overall argument.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the purpose of introducing the first reason in a rhetorical analysis. The claim is about Stanton’s effective use of pathos. Option C ("A wide range of emotionally charged words are used in different ways throughout the text") provides a reason that explains how the pathos is achieved (by using charged words in various ways), which logically connects to the claim. Option A just states the effect, B gives examples (not a reason for effectiveness), and D is a conclusion - like statement, not a reason - introducing sentence.

Answer:

C. A wide range of emotionally charged words are used in different ways throughout the text.
