Question 2 • CREDIT RECOVERY - ELA 9 - Summer

Which statement is false?

Answer
A
Speeches should be evaluated on both content and delivery.
B
The best speeches are full of logos and have very little ethos or pathos.
C
Carefully selected rhetorical devices can add impact and memorability to a speech.
D
Every word and gesture matters when giving a speech.

Explanation

A strong speech can use logos, ethos, and pathos together. Relying heavily on logos while using very little ethos or pathos can make a speech less persuasive, so the claim that the best speeches do this is false. The other statements correctly emphasize evaluating both content and delivery and using words, gestures, and rhetorical devices effectively.
