Read the excerpt from "Keynote Address."I believe the real reason we are here is that there is a word called "commitment,” because we are committed to the future of our country and all our people, and because for that future, hope and faith are more needed now than pride in our party’s past.
Answer
A
He creates an appeal to logic by explaining the reasons he has faith in the future of the country.
B
He creates an appeal to authority by establishing common patriotic ground with his audience.
C
He appeals to the audience's emotions by suggesting that they should have pride in their party.
D
He appeals to timeliness by reminding the audience why they have gathered on this day.
Explanation
The speaker connects the audience’s gathering to a pressing purpose: commitment to the country’s future. By emphasizing that hope and faith are needed “now,” the speaker highlights why this moment matters and reminds listeners why they have come together. The choice about pride in the party is incorrect because the speaker says the future matters more than pride in the party’s past.
