Read the following excerpt from a 1775 speech by Patrick Henry in which he presents his ideas concerning the American colonists' relationship with Great
Britain:
Shall we try argument? Sir
, we have been trying that for the
last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the
subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in
every
light of which it is capable; but it has all been in vain. Shall
we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What
terms shall we find which have not already been
exhausted?
Which best explains the purpose of the rhetorical device used in this excerpt?
O A. The use of parallelism draws attention to the many peaceful steps
the colonists have taken.
O B. The repetition of the words "sir" and "throne" emphasize the point
that the colonists are subordinate to Great Britain.
O C. The metaphor of a storm to represent the monarchy implies that it
is powerful and unpredictable.
O D. The strong appeal to ethos leads the audience to trust and agree
with the speaker.
