Summer Reading Test Corrections – Alex Johnson
6. Which of the following most strongly appeals to pathos?
A. Starting the speech with what makes Roosevelt credible.
B. Defining and quoting the Bill of Rights.
C. Terms such as “totalitarian,” “democracy,” “trade union,” and “compromise”
D. Repetition of the word “United Nations”
E. Use of rhetorical questions Letter A is incorrect because Roosevelt is appealing to logos in this quote “The United Nations has made it clear that it intends to uphold human rights and to protect the dignity of the human personality.” Having appealed to logos and not pathos this question is wrong.
Letter B is incorrect because defining The Bill of Rights does not have an emotional appeal but more of a credible appeal “The General Assembly, which opened its third session here in Paris a few days ago, will have before it the first fruit of the Commission's labors in this task, that is the International Declaration of Human Rights.”
Letter D is incorrect because repeating the word United Nations doesn’t not appeal to pathos, the audience does not feel any type of way towards the subject. The United Nations may have many purposes not appealing to pathos. “One of the purposes of the United Nations is declared in article 1 to be…” “Take joint and separate action in cooperation with the United Nations for the promotion of…”
Letter E is incorrect because rhetorical questions do not have an emotional appeal. “But what would happen if a paper were to print ideas which were critical of the basic policies and beliefs of the Communist government?” This is a logical appeal coming from his own mind but without emotion
Letter C is the correct choice because using words like totalitarian or democracy is relating to peoples past triggering an emotional appeal- pathos “Our government seems powerless to them because, in the last analysis, it is controlled by the people.” 7. To what specific criticism is King responding in this excert?
