Question

You are watching a commercial that encourages viewers to send money to build wells in poor villages in Africa. The commercial contains text that states, "Water is a basic human right. Yet, in this village, only 15% of residents have access to drinking water within a mile of their residence." Which is best represented by the highlighted text? Question options: persuasive language bandwagon appeal fact rhetorical question

Answer 1

fact. The answer is fact

Answer 2

Answer: C: fact

The highlighted text is best represented by 'fact' (option C) because the commercial is trying to encourage people to donate to help with building wells but it is not using persuasive language, instead it just presents facts: 'Water is a basic human right' and 'only 15% of residents have access to drinking water...'There is no question, so no rhetoric question. Bandwagon appeals to doing the popular thing.
