The Ghost of Christmas Present’s words affect Scrooge because they remind Scrooge of his earlier harsh behavior and make him feel regret and shame.

Explanation:

The second ghost visiting Scrooge, shows him images of Christmas celebrations and faces him with his own prior words when he asks about Tiny Tim, this is to make him feel ashamed of what he has done and his attitude toward others, he also shows him the image of the children called "ignorance" and "want" and foresaw that he would suffer if he didn't learn his lesson.

the rhetorical devices that he used in "common sense" are syntax for his sentence structure and pathos for his emotion against the british unfairly treating the "americans" and logos of what documents that what happened to the pilgrims when they had the mayflower compact and how that the british were wanting to have one religion but the compact said for any religion to be accepted.
