Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech. Today the city thrives in spite of the challenges implicit in the very presence of this wall. What keeps you here? Certainly there's a great deal to be said for your fortitude, for your defiant courage. But I believe there's something deeper, something that involves Berlin's whole look and feel and way of life—not mere sentiment. . . . In a word, I would submit that what keeps you in Berlin is love—love both profound and abiding. Which type of appeal does Reagan use in this part of the speech? logical ethical emotional rational

Answer:

C. Emotional appeal.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Tear Down This Wall" was a speech delivered by the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. The speech was delivered as a plea to Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the wall of Berlin that separated East and West Berlin.

In the given excerpt, Reagan has used emotional appeal (pathos) to appeal to his audience. By using words such as 'courage', sentiment', 'love', etc Reagan is igniting emotions in the hearts of his audience.

Therefore, option C is correct.
