Question

The leader of a political party says a rival political party is ""irresponsible because they are destroying the livelihood of millions of Southwestern ranchers with their policies."" An economist not affiliated with any political party cites data saying that the same ranchers ""have sustained a 5 percent increase in taxes when purchasing feed."" Which statement best describes how the two statements compare?

Answer 1

Use of emotive language

Step-by-step explanation:

Emotive language deals with the choice of words. Specific syntax is used to elicit the reader's emotion. Word choice has a huge impact on the reader both written and spoken. The participant may use different words to trigger different reactions. Terms that emotionally respond are examples of emotional language.

It's clear the political leader uses emotive language to invoke the emotions for his personal gain while economist doesn't use it but is just stating the plain facts.
