Question

1. what would be the best example of deliberative rhetoric?

a candidate asking voters to make a campaign donation
a minister giving a eulogy
a manager presenting an employee of the month award
a lawyer making a closing argument

Explanation:

Deliberative rhetoric aims to persuade an audience to take action or make a decision about future events. A candidate asking voters for a campaign donation is trying to persuade them to act (donate) for a future - oriented goal (the campaign). A eulogy is epideictic (praise for the deceased), presenting an award is also epideictic (praise for the employee), and a lawyer’s closing argument is forensic (about past events, like a trial’s facts). So the candidate’s request fits deliberative rhetoric.

Answer:

a candidate asking voters to make a campaign donation
