Which best explains the purpose of the rhetorical device used in this excerpt

Rhetoric represents the art of speech communication for the practical purpose of convincing the interlocutor.

Explanation:

The purpose of rhetoric or general speaking is to strive for successful communication. This form of expression can be oral and written. This skill throughout history is in the traces of many peoples, but it is primarily originated and developed in Greek. As a practice, it was spread by sophists (who knew how to misuse rhetoric and excessive eloquence in rhetorical appearances for party disputes and quarrels). In Athens, during the rule of democracy, every citizen could stand out because he had free speech. Homer was regarded as the father of rhetoric, and many saw role models in him.
