One persuasive tactic is repetition. what is repeated in this passage to indicate that the u. s. did not provoke the attack from japan? the united states was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the pacific. a. nation b. government c. conversation d. peace (not a or c)

d. peace

Explanation:

The word peace is repeated to make it clear that the U.S  did not intend to attack Japan. First, the text says that the U.S  was at peace with that nation because Japan had asked   the U.S to continue being on speaking terms. The fact both nations were having converstions was the evidence that showed the peaceful and respectful attitude of the U.S. Then, the text explains that the US had accepted Japan's request because they , the US, was really interested in maintaining peace in the Pacific.

the author develops a cold, and scared tone. making the reader shudder with fear, and suddenly become cold. i'm guessing that he's writing a scary novel, or maybe about a chilly december night.
