Question

1. what is rhetoric?

writing that uses figures of speech and allusions
writing that forces your audience to think a certain way
writing that deliberately creates emotional impact
writing that casually draws the audience into a topic

Explanation:

Rhetoric in writing is about using strategies (like figures of speech, appeals to emotion, logic, etc.) to persuade or influence an audience. The option "writing that deliberately creates emotional impact" aligns with rhetorical techniques (e.g., pathos) which aim to evoke emotions to engage the audience. The other options are incorrect: the first is more about figurative language (not the core of rhetoric), the second implies coercion (rhetoric is persuasive, not forceful), and the fourth implies casualness (rhetoric is deliberate, not casual).

Answer:

The correct option is: writing that deliberately creates emotional impact
