In a scenario of two dazed boxers lying flat on their backs, slowly regaining consciousness, the winner of World War III would be that country which could stand on its feet first (and so go on to win World War VI). Therefore, the pentagon’s priority was to provide scientists with a way to rebuild the country as fast as possible, unimpeded by unnecessary restrictions. Which type of rhetoric is used most in this excerpt to convince readers of the author’s point of view?

an appeal to logic 
an appeal to the authors character 
an appeal to emotion 
an appeal to ethics 

Respuesta :

It's an appeal to logic because it states how it is necessary that restrictions be lifted in order to win.

Answer: A) An appeal to logic.

Explanation: When writing, an author can use several rhetorical devices in order to persuade, inform or impact the audience in the desired way. In the given excerpt we can see an example of the use of logos (an appeal to the audience's logic) because the speaker is explaining the reasons why the pentagon priority was to provide scientist with a way to rebuild the country, without unnecessary restrictions.
