Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt's speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.
Which statement best summarizes the rhetorical
technique Roosevelt uses to persuade her audience?
bc
The Soviet amendment to article 20 is obviously a very
restrictive statement of the right to freedom opinion
and expression. It sets up standards which would
enable any state practically to deny all freedom of
opinion and expression without violating the article. It
introduces the terms "democratic view," "democratic
systems," "democratic state," and "fascism," which we
know all too well from debates in this Assembly over
the past two years on warmongering and related
subjects are liable to the most flagrant abuse and
diverse interpretations.
Roosevelt uses parallel structure when she quotes
from the amendment to show its flaws.
Roosevelt appeals to logic by urging members to
seek a compromise on the amendment.
Roosevelt repeats the word democratic to show why
the Soviet amendment is dangerous.
Roosevelt uses loaded language to provoke intense
emotions in audience members.
