Read the excerpt from President Ronald Reagan’s speech on the night before the 1980 presidential election.

I know that tonight the fate of America’s 52 hostages is very much on the minds of all of us. Like you, there is nothing I want more than their safe return—that they be reunited with their families after this long year of imprisonment.

When they have returned, all of us will be turning to the concerns that will determine the course of America in the next four years.

A child born this year will begin his or her adult life in what will be the 21st century. What kind of country, what kind of legacy will we leave to these young men and women who will live out America’s third century as a nation?

Which techniques does President Reagan use in this excerpt? Select three options.

pathos
ethos
shift
understatement
overstatement
