Analyzing Rhetorical Techniques in Machiavelli’s The Prince

Question 2 • CISD TX- Eng II B CR Nov 2026

Which pair of words or phrases from the passage best indicates the type of appeal used?

Answer
A
“decisions,” “vital service”
B
“generation,” “remembrance”
C
“immeasurable pain,” “ bleeding wound”

Explanation

“Immeasurable pain” and “bleeding wound” use vivid, emotionally charged language. These phrases are meant to stir the reader’s feelings, so they indicate an emotional appeal. “Decisions” and “vital service” are less strongly emotional, while “generation” and “remembrance” do not convey the same intense feeling.
