The correct answer is : emotional appeal. These are some of the sections of Mandela's speech on the day he received the Nobel Peace Prize, where the emotional appeal of his words is evident: "May the efforts of all of us prove that the leader for civil rights Martin Luther King, Jr. was not a mere dreamer when he spoke of the beauty of true brotherhood and peace, more precious than diamonds, silver or gold ... May a new era dawn! "

"We are here today as mere representatives of the millions of people of our people who had the courage to rebel against a social system whose very essence is war, violence, racism, oppression, repression and emprobrecimiento."
