Which sentence develops the claim by making an emotional rhetorical appeal? sentence 2 sentence 4 sentence 5 sentence 7

Answer 1

sentence 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Sentence (2) Imagine how it feels to be afraid to go to the doctor for fear of plunging into debt.

This sentence develops the claim by making an emotional appeal. The speaker appeals to people's emotions by talking about the fear people have of plunging into debt and how that fear keeps them from going to the doctor. The other options do not have any emotional appeals. Sentence 4 simply states what the speaker wants to happen. Sentence 5 asserts that his claim is possible. Sentence 7 reasserts the claim using the WHO as his reason.
