Read the following excerpt from a speech given to a group of teenagers: i want to you for coming here today to learn about the important issue of bullying in schools. i'm going to ask that you give your thumbs a rest and look up to give me some eye contact. because that's where bullying often begins – when we're hidden behind the anonymity of a screen. when we're not making sincere human connections with one another. how does the underlined phrase contribute to the overall purpose of the speech? o a. it puts the speaker in a position of authority over the audience members. o b. it uses slang to create a casual, friendly rapport with the younger generation o c. it appeals to emotions in order to capture the attention of the audience. o d. it indicates that the audience should put away any devices and pay attention.

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The objective of the speech is that people can realize how to recognize the true bullying. And for that, you have to look the other person in the eye. That is what they want to achieve, since today most people only take care of their devices, or social networks, and do not pay attention to where the real bullying is.

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
