Read the excerpt from "Choice: A Tribute to Dr. Martin

Luther King, Jr." by Alice Walker.
The public acts of Dr. King you know. They are visible
all around you. His voice you would recognize sooner
than any other voice you have heard in this century-
this in spite of the fact that certain municipal libraries,
like the one in downtown Jackson, do not carry
recordings of his speeches, and the librarians chuckle
cruelly when asked why they do not.
Mark this and return
What is the effect of the rhetorical appeal in this
excerpt?
OIt accuses the reader of not being familiar with
King's work.
OIt asks the reader to question why King is not
respected as a leader.
OIt explains why people have not heard famous
speeches.
It questions the knowledge of the people who work
in libraries.

Answer:

Olt accuses the reader of not being familiar with King's work

Step-by-step explanation:

When you read the excerpt, the beginning starts off by telling you that Dr. King's works are all around you, basically informing you about him. This shows that he assumes you dont know much about Dr. King.
