(quick i need ) read the paragraphs from president jimmy carter’s speech “energy and the national goals—a crisis of confidence.” we are at a turning point in our history. there are two paths to choose. one is a path i’ve warned about tonight, the path that leads to fragmentation and self-interest. down that road lies a mistaken idea of freedom, the right to grasp for ourselves some advantage over others. that path would be one of constant conflict between narrow interests ending in chaos and immobility. it is a certain route to failure. all the traditions of our past, all the lessons of our heritage, all the promises of our future point to another path—the path of common purpose and the restoration of american values. that path leads to true freedom for our nation and ourselves. we can take the first steps down that path as we begin to solve our energy problem. president carter uses pathos to persuade his audience as he attempts to create a sense of fear. which option most accurately explains why this use of pathos might detract from his argument? some audience members will feel judged by his comments and might feel discredited. some audience members may feel that he is being too accepting of intolerable behavior. some audience members may feel forced to follow his suggestions and will be bitter. some audience members may feel that he is oversimplifying the issue and is making assumptions.
