1. A voter believes that the country should have universal healthcare for all, including the poor and unemployed, although others believe that this would hurt business because taxes would rise.

Which of the following is the best evidence that a Senate candidate's qualifications support this voter's concerns?

The candidate has made statements that his opponent only supports the wealthy and big business.
The candidate has voted for legislation that would make health care for the poor and middle class more accessible.
The candidate donates to charities that fund food drives and shelters for the poor in his home state.
The candidate has a medical degree and had his own practice before becoming a U.S. Representative.

2. Read the quotation below:

“Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.”—Former President George W. Bush 2001

Which of the following correctly describes the technique used in the quotation?

Propaganda
Symbolism
Bias
Sympathy

Answer 1

1. The candidate has voted for legislation that would make health care for the poor and middle class more accessible.

2. Obviously bias for America but I'm not sure that's a technique, so symbolism? Bush is comparing american resolve to steel-it is unbreakable.

Answer 2

The candidate has voted for legislation that would make health care for the poor and middle class more accessible.

Symbolism

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first sentence, the best piece of evidence that the candidate supports the voter's concerns is that the candidate has also voted for legislation that would make healthcare more accessible to vulnerable people. This shows that, just like the voter, he believes in increasing healthcare access for those who need it.

In the second sentence, the president is employing symbolism. The president uses the idea of the foundations of buildings as a symbol for America's foundations. He also employs steel as a symbol for the strength of American resolve.
