Which best describes the impact of the words “prosecution,” “espionage,” and “sabotage”?
Answer
A
They lend the excerpt an urgent tone.
B
They reveal important information to the reader.
C
They create vivid imagery for the audience.
D
They emphasize the theme of the executive order.
Explanation
“Prosecution,” “espionage,” and “sabotage” are serious, forceful words associated with war and threats to national security. Their wording makes the need for protection sound immediate and pressing, giving the excerpt an urgent tone. They do not create vivid imagery, which would rely on sensory details.
