Question 5 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY

How does the passionate tone adopted by Set'tainte (Satanta) within the speech "My Heart Is Bursting" most help him achieve his purpose?

Answer
A
It decreases his ability to persuade using his reputation.
B
It decreases his ability to persuade using logical ideas.
C
It strengthens his ability to persuade through credibility.
D
It strengthens his ability to persuade through emotions.

Explanation

A passionate tone helps Satanta stir the audience’s feelings and build an emotional connection to his message. This strengthens persuasion through emotion, or pathos. It does not primarily rely on his credibility or reputation, and the question does not suggest that passion weakens his use of logic.
