It is the result of an emotional hangover and a temporary moral lapse which follows every war. it is the apathy to evil which people who have been subjected to the tremendous evils of war feel. as the people of the world see mass murder, the destruction of defenseless and innocent people, and all of the crime and lack of morals which go with war, they become numb and apathetic. it has always been thus after war. however, the morals of our people have not been destroyed. they still exist. this cloak of numbness and apathy has only needed a spark to rekindle them. happily, this spark has finally been supplied.

which best states the meaning of the rhetoric mccarthy uses in this passage?

a)the personification of “numbness” having a “cloak” makes apathy seem like a villain.
b)the alliteration of “destruction” and “defenseless” the audience remember the victims of war.
c)the metaphor of a “spark” and a rekindling makes morals seem like a flame that can burn away corruption.
d)the analogy of a “moral lapse” makes the idea of the effects of war more understandable.
