Question

20 POINTS PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!

Read the following paragraph from the article, "The Burden of Tobacco Use."

The harmful effects of smoking do not end with the smoker. More than 126 million nonsmoking Americans, including children and adults, are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke. Even brief exposure can be dangerous because non-smokers inhale many of the same carcinogens and toxins in cigarette smoke as smokers. Secondhand smoke exposure causes serious disease and death, including heart disease and lung cancer in nonsmoking adults and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), acute respiratory infections, ear problems, and more frequent and severe asthma attacks in children. Each year, primarily because of exposure to secondhand smoke, an estimated 3,000 nonsmoking Americans die of lung cancer, more than 35,000 die of heart disease, and about 150,000-300,000 children younger than 18 months have lower respiratory tract infections.

Look carefully at the paragraph above. Find at least five words and phrases that represent emotional language.

Answer 1

"harmful effects .... do not end with the smoker"

"Including children"

"even brief exposure"

"serious disease and death"

"more frequent and severe asthma attacks in children"

These all have slight exaggerations, along with references to children, in an attempt to evoke more emotion in the reader.
