Select the correct answer. In Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, he tells Southerners who have seceded the following: I hold that in contemplation of universal law and of the Constitution the Union of these States is perpetual. Perpetuity is implied, if not expressed, in the fundamental law of all national governments. It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination. Which type of appeal does President Lincoln use in these lines to try to persuade Southerners?1. emotional appeal
2. ethical appeal
3. logical appeal
4. scientific appeal
5. moral appeal

Answers

The correct answer is 3. Logical appeal

Explanation:

In persuasion there are different appeals or strategies a speaker can use to convince or persuade the audience about an idea, in the case of logical appeal, this appeal uses arguments based on reasoning and facts, because of this it is common to rely on evidence such as official documents, statistics, research studies, among others. In the case of Lincoln's speech he refers to the law and especially to the Constitution of the U.S. to state Southern states could not secede as the Constitution implied "no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination". Therefore, in this case, Lincoln is mainly using arguments based on reasoning and facts as he referred to an official document and therefore, the technique used to persuade Southerners is mainly a logical appeal.
3. Logical Appeal because he breifly explains to the Southerners what is going to happen if they dont rejoin the Union

Answers

Instead of promptly consulting a dictionary, a careful reader can often decipher a word''s meaning by relying on "context clues" since these can often narrow down the meaning of a word. 

Answer:

Context clues and knowledge of root words and prefixes

Explanation:

When we are reading and find an unusual or unknown word within a text, we can use the surrounding information to help comprehend the meaning of that word, as well as its pronunciation, when we do this, we are using the context clues. By using this technique we can save a lot of time and enhance our comprehension of the piece of writing as our reading would flow naturally and without major irruptions.

Similarly, a technique very helpful when finding an unknown word in a text is to have a knowledge of root words, prefixes and suffixes, as all these parts of a word have an standard meaning.

For example, in the word "prehistory", we can know the meaning of the word by simply having a knowledge of the prefix "pre" (which means "before"), and the root word "history" (the study of past events). Same with the word "illegal", the prefix "il" expresses the negative of something and "legal" means related to the law.
