Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it mean that society has changed? Has the human being
become less indifferent and more human? Have we really
learned from our experiences? Are we less insensitive to
the plight of victims of ethnic cleansing and other forms of
injustices in places near and far? Is today's justified
intervention in Kosovo, led by you, Mr. President, a lasting
warning that never again will the deportation, the
terrorization of children and their parents, be allowed
anywhere in the world? Will it discourage other dictators in
other lands to do the same?

D. Wiesel uses figurative language to encourage the audience to

The correct answer is B. Wiesel uses rhetorical questions to encourage the audience to continue to think about his ideas

Explanation:

The excerpt presented belongs to a speech known as "the Perils of Indifference" by Elie Wiesel who was a survivor of the Holocaust and an important author in the topic. In the excerpt presented, Wiesel refers to the indifference and the importance of learning from the past.

To explain this, the main technique Wiesel uses is rhetorical questions that are questions not intended to be answered by the audience but that encourages the audience to reflect and think about the ideas. For example, the rhetorical question "Have we really learned from our experiences? " makes the audience think about whether atrocities such as the Holocaust can occur again or the question "Has the human being become less indifferent and more human?" that questions the indifference in human societies.
