How does the author use a rhetorical device to influence his audience? Read the passage.

My brother and I shared a bedroom during our youth, and our mornings typically began with my mother’s voice signaling the start of a new day. Except for one morning in April 1968, when she sat at the edge of my bed and gently shook me out of my slumber.

"I have some really bad news,” she whispered. . . .

The jarring word of Dr. King’s assassination on April 4, 1968, is one of those rare life-changing moments that is chiseled in stone for millions of Americans.

–"The Politically Progressive Faith of Martin Luther King,” Gregory E. Sterling

C: by appealing to emotions

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.

c. would be the answer : )
