The book was banned from high school classes in Bloomfield, New Mexico, and a school board member was quoted as saying: “We took the books out and personally saw that they were burned.” Which best describes the rhetorical appeal used to illustrate the destructive nature of censorship?

Factual evidence was used to appeal to logic.

Explanation:

The absence of options makes this question a dicey one but based on previous experience with this question, I'll answer what I know.

Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry is a book by Rudolfo Anaya.

In this excerpt, Anaya gives an example of the censorship that his book had to endure.

He gave an account of how a high school class took the books outside and saw that they were burned as shown here: "...and a school board member was quoted as saying: “We took the books out and personally saw that they were burned.”"

This is an appeal to the reader's sense of logic because it uses concrete evidence to sustain the argument.

a,b,d are the three sentences that use a reflexive pronoun

it is the background information on the characters and setting explained at the beginning of the story. the exposition will often have information about events that happened before the story began. the exposition is often the very first part of the plot.
