Read the two passages about school uniforms. Passage 1 "What should I wear today? Will this help me fit in?” If we listen to recent studies, which reveal the impact that school uniforms have, our children no longer have to ask themselves those questions. Uniforms decrease fighting. Uniforms decrease drug use. Uniforms decrease vandalism. There is no other possible solution to fix our schools. Passage 2 When schools introduce uniforms, students become complacent, no longer interested in individuality. When schools introduce uniforms, schools lose their identities, blending in to look the same as other schools. When schools introduce uniforms, what is the true cost? The unfortunate answer will come as no surprise. Which statement compares the rhetorical techniques used in the arguments? Both passages use rhetorical questions and repetition. Both passages use parallelism and understatements. Passage 1 uses tricolon and an overstatement, while passage 2 uses anaphora and a rhetorical question. Passage 1 uses an understatement and rhetorical questions, while passage 2 uses an overstatement and an allusion.

Respuesta :

Passage 1 uses tricolon and an overstatement, while passage 2 uses anaphora and a rhetorical question.

In passage 1 the tricolon is "Uniforms decrease fighting. Uniforms decrease drug use. Uniforms decrease vandalism." It is a series of 3 parallel clauses. The overstatement is "There is no other possible solution to fix our schools." Passage 2 uses anaphora when it repeats the beginning phrase "When schools introduce uniforms". The rhetorical question in passage 2 is "what is the true cost?"

Answer:

C: Passage 1 uses tricolon and an overstatement, while passage 2 uses anaphora and a rhetorical question.
