Question

Read this sentence: 

Much of the shoreline of the reservoir consists of near-perpendicular sandstone bluffs, where very little flora ever did or ever could subsist, but the remainder includes bays, coves, sloping hills and the many side canyons, where the original plant life has been drowned and new plant life cannot get a foothold.What rhetorical technique does the author use?  A. Pathos  B. Credibility  C. Logos  D. Ethos

Answer 1

b.-credibility i might be wrong

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) Logos

Step-by-step explanation:

a Rhetorical technique or device is a technique that a writer or orator uses to convey to the listener or reader a meaning with the goal of persuading them towards looking at a topic from a perspective, using language designed to encourage an emotional display of a given angle.

In the sentence, there is a subtle weave of words in such a way that the reader is forced to understand that due to the geography of the terrain, it was impossible for new plant life to ever exist again.

Logos by the way is a rhetorical device that appeals to logic.

Cheers!
